Hmmm...I really dont' want to use the flex joint because I can't weld and I don't think it'll be flexible enough for what I have in mind.

My application is as follows: I have a backup generator on my property and want to enclose it in a shed. I still need to vent the exhaust gasses though, so for that I have a separate pipe with its own support structure to do so.

However I need a way to connect the generator's exhaust with that extension exhaust...and due to massive vibrations I'm looking for a flexible connection.

I hope that made sense.

So in all honesty, I'm still looking for a fabric-like alternative...just something I can wrap around the connections of the two pipes...and flexible enough so that the vibrations don't damage the shed/pipe/generator itself. The seal doesn't have to be a 100%, just so taht most of the gas does get vented.

What are your thoughts about something like this or perhaps even this

This is because at night your eyes aren't used to the bright lights from your dash as much.


The solution to this is to install a garage lamp in your cab, then your eyes will be much more used to the bright light.

In all seriousness it would be much easier to run a waffle iron etc in a portable generator. I have one of these. Runs good, not too much gas.

If you are concerned about speed and performance, and it sounds like you are, I would recommend Speed Tape. It is everything it's name implies!
