It may have already been answered, but the flex is neat the manifold...  There is a tube that surrounds each pipe of the downpipe that comes down from the ex. mani. flange.  Each tube is slightly larger than the downpipe, and about an inch and a half away from the flange, there is a welt all the way around both sets of pipes.  This allows for movement, but at the point of flex instead of at the tail end of the downpipe...  If you go to techtonicstuning.com, you will see what I am talking about...  Under downpipes & manifolds...
