I know.. Your flex pipes are leaking .. How do I know??? Mine are doing the same thing .. I have invidia as well .. Loss of power . Sounds like a 40k go kart.. Car shakes really bad as you drive. Sucks. I am fighting with them right now to get it fixed ..

Invidias flex pipes suck man so bad. Ive replaced 1, then had my resonator go out and paid for that since warranty was out (bought both resonators) then had one flex pipe start leaking so I had that fix, which lead to my warranty being voided.

I called lou at amplified and invidia and told them about my situation but neither got back to me even after I sent the video to them.

This all happend a month ago but this thread made me realize how stupid this situation is.

its a leak for sure. Just to be sure, check the flanges to see if its all bolted up.

If you're curious to know which section it's coming from, get a 12" or some length of tubing and stick one end to the suspected leak area and the other to your ear. Move the tubing around to find leak. You'll definitely be able to hear the difference between a leak vs. non-leak. The leak will sound pretty much like how your car exhaust sounds without the tubing. Sorry for the bad news!

Spoke to invidia and they are improving the flex joints. Thats why I have to wait 3 weeks ...
