Hey,
im new to the forums, but i have a question regarding my avenger.  I have a 98 6 cyl 2.5L and The y-pipe has a small hole in it-  needless to say, it is a bit noisy.  I can do the work myself, but the part is dealer only - which translates to about 600 dollars out of my pocket.  I am looking for a better alternative.  Also, this may be a dumb question but is the y-pipe the flex pipe? 
thanks in advance,
dan
