flex pipe

[Preston1SHO]

Need to get a flex pipe that will bolt to my y pipe ****** and have a slip fit on the other end ... does anyone have suggestions of where to get one that fits my V8.. mine is leaking and getting loud.. I drive early in the morning and its not going to agree with the neighbors or the local police

This is the stock flex pipe? Last time I got one, maybe 4 years ago, there was a ton of existing stock in the Ford pipeline and I just picked it up at the dealership. I think I checked at Lordco, a pretty standard 3rd party parts supply house, and they had them too, at about the same price.

From the original post I think they are looking for something closer to this -

I know, it is a 3 hole collector bolt pattern, but the picture give the idea. Slip fit on one end, not collector flanged. I get the feeling a third-cat delete is in the makings, too.

Pacesetter has a wide array of flex pipe options, but one will probably have to buy a correct diameter universal and just weld the old collector plate to one end and go from there.

OK, now I understand. And yes, just welding on the old collector plate seems to me the sensible thing to do.

exhaust fixed and sounds great... ordered a flex pipe from SHO Source and it fit great.. so glad to have my SHO back on the road. Thanks guys for the info. the pipe that I got was for 92-95 but it bolted up to my "y" pipe ****** and then we just welded in a section of 2 1/2 " pipe and connected to the pipe just before the resonator

nice.

You deleted the third Cat?
Do you hear anything differently or notice a rise or drop in performance with your car now that the third Cat is gone?

I have had the 3rd cat delete for about 4 years now. It's has made a difference along with a K&N panel filter.. I also have a SCT tuner. I'm currently running a tune for no secondaries... mine are wired open. The car runs great and it does move pretty good ... I have surprised a few people.
