99 9-3SE 192000 mi.
Flex section of down pipe has failed. Not surprising has thrown a CEL.
I can DIY a 3" GS downpipe / cat setup for ~$500, much as I'd love that, I'd prefer to get out a little cheaper. I'll call a local muffler shop Monday about option 1 below. years past I'da jumped at the excuse to add the 3" GS kit. Notable, this is a winter only driver, spring / summer / fall I commute on my Duc.
1) Anyone successfully had the flex only section of the downpipe replaced?
2) If I go the full downpipe route, besides clamps, what else should I plan on replacing? Nuts / studs to turbo housing, O2 sensor?
Center Flex pipe has already been replaced, and I've got the stainless Sport Exhaust (deleted the center resonator / anchor). So I can appreciate the effects of letting the Saab breathe.
