Hmmm...I really dont' want to use the flex joint because I can't weld and I don't think it'll be flexible enough for what I have in mind.
My application is as follows: I have a backup generator on my property and want to enclose it in a shed. I still need to vent the exhaust gasses though, so for that I have a separate pipe with its own support structure to do so.
However I need a way to connect the generator's exhaust with that extension exhaust...and due to massive vibrations I'm looking for a flexible connection.
I hope that made sense.
So in all honesty, I'm still looking for a fabric-like alternative...just something I can wrap around the connections of the two pipes...and flexible enough so that the vibrations don't damage the shed/pipe/generator itself. The seal doesn't have to be a 100%, just so taht most of the gas does get vented.
What are your thoughts about something like this or perhaps even this
It's cool that DEI has a kit specific for the 4.0L engines but to be honest you can do the same thing for a little less than their cost.

Does your XJ already have the heat shield installed? If not you can get it here. CBXCB060 SHIELD-EXHAUST MANIFOLD
IMO hood vents are the last thing you should be doing to address heat issues. It's a band-aid instead of finding/fixing whatever the problem is that's causing the heat issues (whether it's heat soak, overheating, etc).
