Pipe off rear of cat, all one piece or?
Pipe off rear of cat, all one piece or?
Thanks to this lovely snow and battling the road conditions getting home this morning I've cracked the pipe that comes out the rear of the cat (cracked it right as it comes off the cat, not a foot down the pipe).. can that be fixed/replaced or is it a whole new cat?

I believe that is actually your midpipe, if i'm looking at it correctly. The left side is the front of the car? Unless it came like that from the factory, I have not seen that style flex joint there. Where the cat meets the manifold, yes. Mine had the braided steel cover over the flex joint.

Your '00 is 2"
For $28 that is an incredible price, if the flex joint is included. They generally cost that much plus for the joint. I'd bet it isn't 400 stainless like the oem either.
JT, you can do away with the flex pipe if you want. The one at the cat inlet seems to do fine with out the midpipe one. I still have the one in the pic above, but it is 2.25" I never put it in, when I did the Tru Benz system, and have had no issues.

Probably could have went to a local pick and pull yard an got one even cleaner than that. About 3 weeks ago I nabbed an OEM 2.25" mid section for $5.occasional demons wrote:Your '00 is 2"
