Problem with Vibrant flex joints, what are you using?
I have tacked welded two of Vibrant 45688 flex joints to some 304 stainless tubing to prepare to finish my exhaust.
In tacking the Vibrant parts, it appears that the end cap rings are not stainless. They appear to be either steel or aluminized steel. They are full magnetic, not partial magnetic like 400 series, or non-magnetic like 300 series stainless. My problem is that as I read in their online catalog on pg 56, they are specified as all stainless steel. I have paid a premium for an all stainless part, that appears to be not all stainless. That is now tack welded to my stainless tubing.
Has anyone purchased 2 1/2 diameter flex joints, 8" long that were indeed all stainless steel, if so what brand and part number? I want an exhaust that doesn't rust.1963 Studebaker Avanti, LS1 motor set back 10 inches, T-56, Viper differential, Corvette suspension, C5 brakes, stainless frame.

Not sure about 2 1/2 x 8, but I purchased a set a while ago from Stainless Works. Appeared to be stainless rings so you can check there. Also recently bought intake tubing from these guys and found these. I think they are the manufacturer:
