96 B4V: What are my options - broken flex pipe/exhaust pipe
Greetings all!
Here's the situation: I knew that my exhaust was starting to rust through downstream of the cat and upstream of the clamp so I got my e-Check done early. Today the pipe broke through and the cat started dragging on the road, indicating that the flex joint is damaged/broken. I was able to get the cat and pipe realigned and clamped together as a temporary fix but I was wondering what my options are for replacing the cat/flex pipe assembly/exhaust? I think we are getting some exhaust smell in the cabin (presumably from the flex joint). The check engine light is also now lit.
We were actually considering parting w/ "the beast" in the not to distant future before this, so we ideally don't want to sink a boatload of $$$ into this...so...suggestions, options?
Greg
