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

[John Weidenbenner]

Info for those with limited experience with various SHO designs, the v6 ATX
has a flex pipe with a 3-bolt flange connection between the y-pipe and flex
member.

 So wherever you by the flex pipe also buy flanges and a gasket to fit.
