I have searched the forum a little, but unless I missed something I can't seem where to buy a good one of theses at. It will be going on my 2k with the Speed daddy headers, the pipe that was on them is leaking already :( Any help is appreciated!

You DO NOT want braiding on the inside. It warps and bends inward creating a major restriction.
One of these would be better:

I doubt a major restriction would be a 3" ID pipe. If the braided one is that much of a restriction , then the accordion tube one is the same.

The inner braid warps inward over time and creates a radial hump inside the flex..
