Exhaust Flex Pipe Volkswagen Passat

An exhaust flex pipe, also known as an exhaust flexi pipe, is a flexible component made from stainless steel braiding. It is designed to absorb engine vibrations and thermal movements within the exhaust system, preventing cracks and damage to the rigid pipes. This component is commonly used on Volkswagen Passat models (including B6, B7, Variant 3C5, CC 3.6 VR6, and others) to connect the exhaust manifold to the rest of the exhaust system, ensuring smooth and durable operation.

The specifications of exhaust flex pipes for Volkswagen Passat vary by model and manufacturer. Typical dimensions and materials include:

• Diameter tube/exterior: common sizes include 55 mm to 85 mm
• Interior diameter: ranges from 55 mm to 60 mm depending on the model
• Length: usually between 100 mm and 200 mm
• Material: high-grade stainless steel with interlock braiding for durability

Flex pipes for sportier Passat versions like the CC 3.6 VR6 and R36 are available in packs of 2 with recommended diameters of 55 mm and lengths from 100 to 150 mm. These pipes usually have flexible connectors to ensure a sealed connection.

Exhaust flex pipes are compatible with many Passat variants, such as:

• B7 Sedan: standard fitment for common exhaust setups
• Variant 3C5 (B6 Estate): designed especially for break models with specific interior diameters like 60 mm
• CC 3.6 VR6 and R36: sport models with performance-oriented flexible pipe kits
• General Passat range: tubes fitting popular OEM references ensuring broad compatibility

Checking your exact model and engine specification (e.g., petrol, diesel, engine displacement) helps in selecting the correct exhaust flex pipe.
