The inner braid of the flex joint is "blown" down to the outlet end. It's still attached at the inlet end, just bunched up at the exit. The opening is only 1" in diameter to pass all the exhaust from the driver side bank to the passenger side. W.T.F.

Usually some of the wires end up in there and hurt the ehaust wheel. The ones I bought were ROL I think and they had no braiding on the inside. 11.67@118 1.88 60' with only 7-8 lbs of boost.
