[Shotimes] ATX Flex-pipe leak

[Kirk Doucette]

If a V8 one will work I got a few hanging around.. I think the V6 is all one
piece though flex into pipe into res.

Also if the flange is the same, I could send you a flex pipe with a welded
on section of pipe that you could mate to your system.

Well, my leaky exhaust turns out not to be the flange gasket, it's the flex
pipe itself.

Local Car-X said it's an expensive piece, about $225 for the part alone.
They'll install it for next to nothing, so I'm out the door for $250ish.

They also mentioned my mufflers (original, 11 years and 175k miles old) are
finally starting to rust through.

They carry Dynomax mufflers, so I may just have them installed ($60 each
labor included).

Any ideas how I might save a bunch of money on a flex pipe?  $225 seems like
highway robbery for a flexible piece of pipe that has no purpose other than
to provide some "slack" in the system.

Thanks,
