Flex pipe on exhaust?
Hi folks,
I have a 1997 Civic EX, and my muffler died. Bought a new one, unbolted the old one and bolted the new one on...piece of cake. But I was still getting noise and then noticed there were holes in the "Pipe B" that has the resonator on it. I bought a new "Pipe B", which also allows you to unbolt the old one and bolt on the new one. But my car has a flex pipe in between the "Pipe A" and the catalytic converter, and everything from the cat, to the flex pipe, to the "Pipe B" is welded together instead of bolted. Grr. So do I either need to 1) learn how to weld?, 2) just bring it somewhere to have them weld on the new "Pipe B"?
Attached is a diagram. I guess they didn't even use flex pipes back then because it's not even on here?
