Everything I found is a 4" length.

 

Just get the 1.75 x 4 and tell him to make it fit, or he's worthless.

just make sure it doesn't have an inner weave or remove it from the new flex because it will deteriorate. My just got sucked through the turbo but I had no damage I think it went through the wastegate so maybe I got luck but still

Most people use the 1.75 x 4'' flexes in their repairs...

FWIW, Jeff M. used to use flexes on his x-overs that had an inner locking style liner inside instead of the braided style. You can see some pictures of the inner locking liner type here: http://www.verociousmotorsports.com/Shop-by-Category/Flex-Couplings/Vibrant-Performance-Stainless-Steel-Flexible-Coupling

 

^I have no clue about the quality of those flexes, I just came across the pictures showing the different style liners.

You might PM Shantz aka GOT2BGM. I know he bought the jig to repair these.
