best 2.5 flex pipe

Where is the best place to get it? I heard of people buying some and it neck down inside which I dont want. Someone was saying the inside could come apart in another thread. I need stainless also.

I just bought a piece of that stuff (with interlock). I was advised to put V bands on the ends and replace it frequently, which I intend to do.

wondering if you could just take the stainless steel weave out of the inside of the flex coupler before it removes itself ?

It takes ~30 seconds to pull it out... pretty easy. I had one customer of mine have the internal braiding expand on the inside and cause a bottle neck.
