Im having more problems with my exhaust system.
my front box has been removed and the cat replaced by an empty one, and yes it does give you more power 
to save money i used a flex pipe to join all these together and it also stops the exhaust pipe hitting the rear axle, but.....
a flex pipe has a line running around in in a circle, this runs from tpo to bottom and allows it to flex and bend into any position you would want it to go, very handy indeed. but even with the clamps tightened fully it still blows a little at the join.
the problem is theres 4 joins in the pipe, which means it blows in 4 places.
i sealed it with exhaust paste, this cracked and fell off
the i used chemical metal, this is doing the same, but slower.
anyone got any ideas of how to solve this problem. of should i just fuck it off and get a new system?

Flexible pipe is more a temporary measure. Get rid and get a proper system IMO.

did you put a little bit of paste on the inside of the female part of the join and the outside of the male part? if not try it and get some exhaust tape and tape over the joint before you clamp as well.
