I don't think you can actually buy these.
Tbh you would be better off getting a flexi pipe fabricated, to bypass the ineffective flexi joint.

Same here! but Im going to make up a Section to adjust the flange back from a williams angle to a valver item for mot time might have to look into some flexi tubing, but tbh i dont think it's needed

i used a supersprint without one and it cracked, and so have many others, it IS needed

It is definitely needed.
It cracks with them because it doesn't allow enough movement.
Poor design really.

I don't think my supersprint has got a flexi joint :? but I've never had a problem with it, even with fooked engine mounts :?

Ive got a Coops dogbone so the engine hardly moves around,
IVe heard they crack too but put it down to stainless being rather brittle,
What did you all do about the gap between cat and downpipe?
I was lucky as i had an adjustable decat which i simply lengthened

I had a custom made jobber for mine :?

I took off the godawful K-tec system to fit my magnex & none of it fitted :x took lots of trial & error to get mine all mated up with the manifold - I didn't buy it, it was already on the car when I bought it

Long shot but try giving supersprint a call. When i purchased mine it either didn't come with the bolts / flexi joint or they got lost when it was being ceramic coated. I simply phoned them up (this is a year after purchasing) and they send me a new fitting kit FOC.

What lips that midge?
Emailed Supersprint uk last night and they replied today stating that they have discontinued williams and 16v manifolds, but every so often make a batch of 20 for Ktec, told me to ring them for a flexi section... i feel my wallet lightening!
