Exhaust Flex Pipe Peugeot 806 (1994-2002)

The exhaust flex pipe, often called exhaust braid or stainless steel flex hose, is a flexible component in the Peugeot 806's exhaust system. It acts as a flexible buffer between the engine and exhaust line, absorbing vibrations, engine movement, and thermal shocks. This prevents cracks, gas leaks, and premature wear, protecting the exhaust system's integrity.

The flex pipe serves several key functions :

• Absorbs engine vibrations to reduce noise and protect welds/joints.
• Compensates for engine movements and thermal expansion differences between engine and exhaust.
• Provides thermal damping to prevent cracks from sudden temperature changes.
• Prevents exhaust gas leaks, extending the overall system's lifespan.
• Reduces noise transmission, especially important for cars without a licence (VSP).

Exhaust flex pipes are primarily made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, vibrations, and exhaust gases.

• The pipe consists of a flexible metal mesh or braided stainless steel structure.
• This design offers superior flexibility compared to rigid tubes, with versions tailored to specific Peugeot 806 models or universal types.
• The material and structure extend durability and allow effective vibration absorption.

The most common diameter is around 63.5 mm, with lengths from 100 to 150 mm or as per vehicle requirements.

Signs your exhaust flex pipe may need replacement include :

• Dull exhaust noise or increased engine noise.
• Loss of engine performance.
• Fumes or strong exhaust gas smell near the vehicle.
• Visible fraying, perforation, or damage caused by heat, moisture, or constant vibrations.

Such wear results mainly from mechanical fatigue and prolonged exposure, often linked to failing joints.

Replacing the flex pipe is generally straightforward due to its non-rigid mesh design. However, professional installation is recommended to :

• Ensure proper fitting with the exhaust system parts like catalytic converter, silencer, and collector.
• Check all joints and surrounding components for wear or damage.

Choosing the correct diameter and length is essential to avoid premature wear and guarantee optimal performance and durability.

The exhaust flex pipe in the Peugeot 806 is installed between the engine, Y-pipe, collector, and catalytic converter. It :

• Helps transform harmful gases in the catalytic converter.
• Reduces noise, especially vital in licence-free cars (VSP).
• Is compatible with various exhaust setups, including diesel and petrol engines.
• Used in standard Peugeot 806 models from 1994-2002, including the 2.0 HDI engines.

High-quality stainless steel flex pipes contribute to the vehicle's overall emission control and noise reduction systems.

Popular technical features and sizes include :

• Diameter commonly Ø63.5 mm, suitable for many Peugeot 806 models.
• Lengths of 100 mm, 150 mm, or custom-fit as per vehicle requirements.
• Constructed from stainless steel mesh providing flexibility and durability.
• Designed for easy mounting with exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, and silencers.

Products ensure high resistance against thermal and mechanical constraints, extending exhaust system life.
