Parts store #4 is a "real" parts store, not one of the cookie cutter chains.
I walk in, plop the flex pipe on the counter and tell the guy what I need. He pulls out a nifty little dial indicator that measures in multiple dimensions to do some measuring, then opens the parts book. A minute or so later he goes out back, returning with a couple of flange clamps, one of which should do the job.
And it does. $13.50 for the part... getting the car back on the road, priceless. Especially since I now won't have to recruit my wife or daughter to drive me to the airport for my 6 AM flight tomorrow or pay $40 for a cab.
