Default source for short (maybe 2") 1.75" diameter flex coupler for wastegate?

I haven't been able to find a braided pipe flex coupler for my wastegate and was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction...

Everything that I've found for 1.75" pipe is at least 4" long. I need something closer to maybe 2" long for my setup...somethign similar to what Bill has



Any help is appreciated.

PM me if it's not through a sponsor.

The waste gate flex you show pictured I'm guessing is about 3" or so weld to weld. It can probably be trimmed up a little to shorten length. When I get home from work I can measure for you.

I should be more specific...the flex couplers I've found for 1.75" are minimum 4" felx section, so about 6" overall.

If that one is about 3" from weld flange to weld flange, that would be perfect.

Maybe I can get one from the shop that made your kit?

OK, its 4" long from weld to weld and the flex section is 2". I'll PM you contact info for Full-Race. I don't know if they stock the part. If you don't have any luck with them let me know and I'll see if I can round one up.
