    Either or. As far as I know, it doesn't really matter. I think most people have flex up pipes tho. Unless they are externally gated in which case all of those up pipes I have seen were solid.

    I personally have never had a problem with non-flex uppipes. If I was going to buy one I would buy the Cobb Inconel....that stuff is cool

    There is a HKS uppipe being sold by YungDz. That is the same pipe that I have been using for close to three years now. Its non-flex, and I have had no issues with it breaking or anything. Since that is really what the flex non flex debate is all about. The only issue that I have ever had with the up is that the egt sensor has backed out, but you can definitely hear it when it does. The car will become a lot more throaty under the hood. The install sucks.
