About the flex pipe, you do need it. You need to have it there for flexibility of the pipe when the motor is running/moving. Not having the flex pipes would cause stress cracks in the weld areas due to the vibration. The flex pipes will help to reduce the stress when vibration occurs.

He suggested that I replace the flex pipe that was replaced with a straight pipe, and to leave the somewhat cracked flex pipe alone.
He also said that I will need o2 simulators.
I'm running an 2003, nismo cat-back, kintex test pipes.
I'm waiting for his call with the quote for full install and repair 1 flex pipe on the nismo y-pipe

What I think I'm going to do is:
Install Kinetex Test pipes with o2 sensors (so simulators)
Keep stock Y-Pipe (throw away nismo)
Install nismo for the rest
Will this cause any problems?
About to call the guy at the shop to tell him not to worry about the y-pipe

You can either fix the flex pipe, replace the flex pipe with straight pipe, use stock y-pipe, or just get another one. If its cheaper to just replace the flex with straight, then do that. But, you may run into problems with the welds cracking later on.
