This is what I though prior to reading your quote:
When I installed my Nismo exhaust and Berk HFC and when I got to hold the stock y-pipe, the first thing that jumped at me was that the stock y-pipe has significantly better located flex sections than the Nismo y-pipe. They flex very smoothly and I could understand Nissan put them there to prevent stress on the cats or the engine in general.
But compared to the stock y-pipe, the Nismo y-pipe has poorly located flex sections that do not allow the cats to move up or down. They can only flex left or right...
But I just don't know what it is now. Oh well, it sounds bad@ss!

Just let me tell you guys, my nismo and megan V2 resonated test pipes combo sounds amazing! very little to no rasp and they have the new flex section in the test pipes to prevent cracking. For only $139, the investment is WELL worth it
