Braided Stainless Exhaust Flex Pipe

A braided stainless steel exhaust flex pipe sits in an engine bay, attached to a welded flange and tubing. The woven hose shows reflective silver metal with bronze and blue heat discoloration, lit by daylight on a tight vertical frame that emphasizes the braid. A row of stacked TIG-weld beads and small surface scratches run along the welded seam.
