Your flex pipe is the one that needs to be replaced. The nuts that fasten it to the turbo were meant for mechanics with smaller arms and hands than mine, but it is a manageable job.
I have relaced my center muffler twice, only because the first time I chose a cheap bosal replacement. Buy the OEM from a parts shop, not the dealer (many online sources avail here in US). I still have the original rear muffler on the car with 166K miles. I have repainted the tip twice, but it still performs well.
The exhaust system on this car is straght forward unless you snap of a rusted stud at one of the flanges. In that case, drill out stud and replace with suitable stainless nut and bolt.
Like I said, just replace as the parts fail. The OEM exhaust on the 91 9000 cars was pretty robust, no reason to replace the whole thing unless you just like to spend the money on it.
Cheers
David
