[Shotimes] Floored it -- y-pipe seperated from catback

[Erik]

Ok I definitely see the benefits of adding a flex pipe instead of using the
donut gasket, but without having something that just unbolts off how do you
go about removing the y-pipe?  Do you still use another flange joint
downwards?  Otherwise I see that as a big problem for clutch work/rod
bearing work etc. down the road.
