So i decided to do the doughnuts myself and what i found was right side flex joint spins on pipe and doughnut is shot, other 2 are good. So what now? Not sure i wanna try to take exhaust flange off to replace flex joint after hearing about one of are members snapping off flange bolts, may have to take it to dealer for this. Is there another way to fix this without removing flange, can't really see any other way. Was thinking about getting 2014 viper, now more money in this one.
 
I had mine out last weekend to do a starter repair. 3000 kms on a 2009 and the came out fairly easy. Used high heat anti seize when I put it back together.
 
Exhaust

Same thing here but mine came apart just fine 3500mi and I bought some new takeoff flex joints on ebay
 
Buy a set of copper donuts off the site I'll toss in a used flex joint with it. Win win for you.

I've personally never had a issue with all the flex joints I've removed. This is not to say you won't have a problem, but it's not the normal occurrence.

Do it! ;)! Take him up on it. Or I can sell you mine. He is giving you his for free.
I only had the one bolt break. The rest came out no problems.

I have bought things from OFT have no complaints. Plan on buying more parts from him.
 
Thanks ricofmn for the offer,but already got a flex pipe before you offered, didnt want to spend the extra not knowing if i was keeping my sled or not,thinkin about a viper ltx se. But might need to get a price on the tunnel ext.i have your oft 136 ext and got tapped in rear and bent it. What would be a price on just the tunnel ext? Pm me if you would like
