Flex Pipe Neds replaced

[deezeejoey]

So my cars been real loud and i found out something called my "flex pipe" (if i remember correctly) needs replaced.
How much do these things go for?

70-100 dollar 10 minute weld job

Apologies if this is completely stupid, but is the flex pipe, the front pipe? Toyota quoted me $1000 for this part..

I received a $1000 quote when I originally needed my flex pipe replaced, but the shop wanted to replace a huge section of the exhaust, not just the flex pipe. I went to a legit muffler shop and had them replace my flex pipe only and install a new muffler (with a mandrel bend) for $140.

im sorry but WHAT exactly does the flex pipe does? i've seen it in the previa but not in my camry...

The flex pipe allows the exhaust system to flex as the engine moves. If that part was not there, the exhaust pipe would collapse or break at that point.

and then what do you plan to do with that piece of ebay pipe? glue it on?


he said 70-100 with welding at a shop...though, of course, if you can weld....then it really is a $10-15 job, of course



as for the $1000 quote from the dealership...it's not for replacing the flexpipe, it's for replacing the entire y-pipe/down-pipe....which is, of course, still absolutely ridiculous...

My mechanic told me the part itself sells for $450. but he said he can do it for $150.00

Your mechanic is a retard who's trying to make himself look like a saint. Find a dedicated muffler shop.

i found a bolt-in replacement for the flex pipe section and secondary cat for $120 on ebay.
