    My first question is are these pistons any good. I won't be using them but I just wanted to know if I should keep them or throw em in the trash. The other 3 are in similar condition


    Second I need a new flexpipe. When i looked at my old one it is 9 inches long so I was wondering if this would work.

    as long as your exhaust pipint is 2.5" wide and you can get someone to cut out the old one and weld this one in, i dont see why you would have a problem

    Need a bigger pic of the pistons. Did the valves hit them? Id assume so, I dont think stock 2g pistons have valve reliefs.

    So whats new with your car? Any updates?

    The reason I ask is because the valves were touching the pistons but. when ran with a new head they didnt hit.
    Yeah ive done a few things and trying to get everything pieced together and installed

    As long as they arent cracked they should be fine. You will want to lightly grind down the sharp spots on the pistons, you want smooth angles. My valves hit my current pistons, I just smoothed the tops out and they work just fine. You dont want to grind very much though, just enough to get rid of any sharp edges.
