Simple equation for you here, steel is not flexible when used as a flexi joint, there have been numerous posts on here about them blowing, and the great mappers have been through them too doing various magazine tests. I wont post who, as i dont want to quote persons/magazines with no permission.
But as far as i see, flexi = cheap and will blow eventually so dont waste your money.
Get a road and test proven set of headers/up pipe and be done with it.
Tracktive and TSL both sell top rate headers and 3 bolt up pipes, and both can do ceramic coating too.
These are road proven headers that last and dont just fall to pieces just because you want to drive your car.
