I've gotten extra flanges, and got some better quality flex pipe, so if something breaks, I can fix it.

Good point. I'm actually looking at getting an exhaust system next season and with Fast Intentions being one i'm seriously considering on getting, would love to know how this design works out.

Keep us updated

Well as of now the noise is gone. We went and checked every inch of my exhaust looking for a leak. This involved me being in the car while up on the lift revving, while 2 guys were under my car looking and listening for any leaks.
