because your gas tank is in the center
yes you can but don't put it near the exhaust pipe.
The purpose of the flex pipe is to give the exhaust some flexibility. On front wheel cars since the motor is mounted crosswise, when you give it gas the motor rocks and would over time break the exhaust pipe or even the exhaust manifold. On rear wheel drive cars, the exhaust pipe can twist which gives the needed flex. As far as components, it is just a woven metal sleeve over a piece of pipe that isn't attached to the ends of the flex tube. The outside woven part allows the exhaust to flex.
running rich (too much fuel)
A car exhaust contains a mixture of gases:carbon dioxidecarbon monoxidenitrogennitrogen oxideswater vapourunburned hydrocarbons from fuelcyclic hydrocarbons
Check if there are any cracks forming, particularly at any connecting points. Also, look for signs of burnt paint or discoloration, and any holes or rust in the exhaust pipe or muffler.
Cars put a chemical in the air through their exhaust pipe called carbon monoxide.
Exhaust pipe.
An intermediate exhaust pipe generally refers to the pipe that comes directly off of the manifold, and to which the catalytic converter, or mid-tail pipe section is bolted /welded too. On newer cars and trucks, the intermediate pipe sometimes has a bendable section that looks like a scaled up version of a braided tube.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation. A small amount of exhaust gas is fed back into the cylinder to lower combustion temperatures and lower tail pipe emissions.
Unburned fuel in the exhaust system causes the backfire from the exhaust pipe.
