I am looking for a source to buy a flex joint as found on some newer vehicles
between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter. These joints
typically consist of a corrugated SS tube covered with a SS wire braid. I know
my wife's Saturn has such a part but it's too small in diameter and I'm certain
that she would be unhappy if I torched it off of her car. Any idea where I
could buy such a part (looking for 2.25 dia.) without having to buy an entire
(SS) down pipe for a newer vehicle that uses such a joint? I have tried a few
auto parts supply houses and a few muffler shops and typically I get a blank
stare - not a whole lot of custom exhaust work any more I guess.
