357.03.0008 Volvo Compatible Flexible Exhaust Pipe

What does a flexible exhaust pipe do?

This flexible exhaust pipe is engineered to absorb engine vibrations and thermal expansion within the exhaust system of heavy commercial vehicles. Built with high-strength components, it maintains structural integrity under intense thermal stress and high-frequency movement. This component is essential for preventing cracks in the rigid sections of the exhaust manifold and downstream piping.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This part is compatible with several Volvo models such as the FH16, FM12, VNL, and VHD, as well as Renault Trucks Magnum. It is specifically designed to meet EURO 5 emission standards and fits engines like the D16C, D12D, and DXi12. This ensures a precise fit for heavy-duty applications across various truck series.

Installation and maintenance

For proper installation, technicians should ensure that the Ø 127 mm diameter connections are free of debris and that the 950 mm length allows for sufficient movement without excessive tension. Regular inspection of the flexible section is recommended to detect early signs of fatigue or heat damage to maintain optimal exhaust flow.

Selection guidance

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure correct fitment for your specific engine configuration.
