contents A classical question in quantitative topology is to bound the mapping degree $\operatorname{deg}(f)$ in terms of its Lipchitz constant $\text{Lip}(f)$. For a closed, orientable, Riemannian manifold $M$, the flexible exponent $α(M)$ is the infimum of $α\geqslant 0$ such that $|\text{deg}(f)|\leqslant C\cdot (\text{Lip}(f))^α$ holds for any Lipschitz map $f:M\to M$. For a geometric 3-manifold $M$ in the sense of Thurston, $α(M)$ is determined in \cite{DLWWW}. In this paper, we determine $α(M)$ for non-geometric 3-manifolds.
