Default Are the metal weaved thingees on Exhaust front tube separate

or do I have to buy the whole new Exhaust front tube.

I bottomed out on a rough railroad crossing and it damaged that piece. It's on the end where it 'Y's out and looks like a grenade.

What is it called and has anyone had it replaced?

ITs called a flex-joint, when I had my custom y-pipe made, I left them out. They are really only needed on fwd cars for vibration. That's why you don't see them on the aftermarket exhausts. Your best bet if you want to stay stock is to buy someone elses y-pipe that has gone aftermarket.

Thanx 2003z.

How much did it cost you to go with the custom 'Y'?
