First of all, Scott, let me assure you- from personal expereince- the pros at this site have had only civil, constructive criticism about the work of mine I once posted----no "ripping" took place. I was asked why I did one thing, and not another, that sort of thing- but that's only fair.
As for this job, I'll guess the guy used flex simply because he doesn't have the $$$$ to get a power bender for 2" pipe. I don't have that kind of money either. Had I been forced to do this sort of job, my solutions would have probably looked far worse!
