Default Non Braided Flex joint

Ive seen a post on here of the braided flex joint blowing thru and I cannot find the thread it was in. In the post a member showed a non braided flex joint, it was ribbed kinda like a shop vac hose. Does anyone know what Im talking about and can you point me in the right direction to find one.

I got one from Colorado River mandrel bends that is braided on the outside, but has the ribbed/linked material you mention on the inside.

Flex is over rated. Best solution - dont use one at all.

It's just the center of a braided style one without the braid. Check out the turbo flex joints by Vibrant. If you can blow through that one I will give you a nickel! A nice piece.

Vibrant is all we use anymore on anything we build, I've had some of the race parts solution ones come apart/blow thru along with some others.
