Exhaust Flex Pipe Citroen C5

An exhaust flex pipe, also known as a flexible exhaust pipe or exhaust hose, is a flexible component that connects rigid parts of the exhaust system. For the Citroën C5 models, it helps absorb vibrations and thermal expansion, preventing damage to the exhaust system and engine mounting points.

Exhaust flex pipes are available for various Citroën C5 models including:

• C5 Phase 1
• C5 Phase 2
• C5 Phase 3
• C5 Aircross
• C5 Van

Choosing the correct part according to your specific model and engine is essential for proper fitting and function.

Main technical specifications include:

• Internal diameter: typically 45 mm, sometimes 45.5 mm or 50.5 mm
• Length: generally around 120 mm (overall or effective length)
• Features: inner braid (tress), flange connection, interlock locking system
• Special dimensions for some models: cone diameters of 79 mm and 53 mm

All exhaust flex pipes available are brand new parts, suitable for specific Citroën C5 generations and body types.

Follow these guidelines to find the right product:

• Identify your C5 model generation and variant (phase 1, 2, 3, Aircross, Van)
• Check the required internal diameter and length for your exhaust flex pipe
• Consider important details such as flange type and locking system compatibility
• Refer to your vehicle’s engine and exhaust system layout for exact fitment

Using the correct technical details ensures proper mounting, reduces vibrations and prevents leaks.

Typical reasons for exhaust flex pipe replacement include:

• Cracks or tears in the flexible hose due to heat and vibration
• Exhaust leaks causing noise, smell, or engine performance issues
• Damage to the internal braid structure or interlock locking
• Wear and corrosion compromising sealing and exhaust flow

A timely repair or replacement helps maintain engine efficiency and exhaust system integrity.

Installation usually involves these steps :

• Raise and secure the vehicle safely
• Remove the damaged exhaust flex pipe by disconnecting clamps, flanges or connectors
• Inspect other exhaust components like the catalytic converter, manifold and muffler
• Fit the new flex pipe ensuring correct diameter, length and flange alignment
• Tighten all mounting bolts and clamps according to manufacturer torque specifications
• Check for exhaust leaks after installation and during engine operation

Professional assistance or detailed guides for your C5 model can ensure correct mounting and safety.
