Yes, a cracked flex pipe can cause a loss of horsepower. The flex pipe is part of the exhaust system, and any leaks or cracks can lead to improper exhaust flow, reduced back pressure, and a decrease in engine performance. This can result in a drop in horsepower, as the engine struggles to expel exhaust gases efficiently. Additionally, it may also affect fuel efficiency and overall vehicle performance.
Take the iron apart and fit new flex the same way old one was fitted. About 1-2 hours work.
slowly
remove the chatter valve

maybe but it could also be your flex tube which absorbs most of the vibration. If it is cracked or broken than you will feel a lot more vibration because it is no longer being absorbed.
If you are really talking about an automatic transmission flex-plate, then a clicking noise at a lower rpm that seems to go away as yoiu wrap up the motor would indicate a crack. A maual transmission's flywheel that is cracked will generally cause the cluth to slip, and eat the clutch disc rapidly. There will be a strong smell!
A cracked flex plate (flywheel) could be your problem.
You may have a cracked flex plate.
When you flex your bicep, the muscle contracts and pulls on the tendons that attach it to your bones. If there is inflammation or strain in the muscle or tendon, it can cause pain when you flex your bicep.
The sternocleidomastoid muscles are the ones that flex when the intercostals are flexed. This will also cause the scalene muscles to flex.
