Aaron,
Aside of having a convenient donor car and a spare on hand, I take
exception to the cost of that part when OEM - so I have found that
the local big parts store sells a generic flex pipe for about $30-
$40 that is easy to put in and replace again later.
I used my air chisel and 4" grinder to remove the old one, and
just clamped in the aftermarket part - cleanly, neatly, and it is
just as tight and quiet as OEM, at a fraction of the cost.
Personally, I favor repairs for failure prone parts that use lower
cost aftermarket parts - and exhaust in rusty Vermont is very, very
failure prone - so this repair really tickled my fancy !
Best Wishes,
mark
