Flex pipe went

[theskuh]

Rest of exhaust looks fine. Should I get a bosal from ECS for $100 + 30 kit?
or try to buy the flex pipe and have someone do it local?

I talked to one of my friends who owns a shop and said I could bring him the coupling to weld on. He basically refused and wanted to get it from his own supplier. Meaning I get fleeced for parts cost + labor. I tried to get him to ballpark me a figure but he wouldn't. I am guessing it is probably more than $150 bucks though.

I don't want a new exhaust right now because I don't really have the cash for it and would like to fab one myself when the time comes. I don't have a welder yet but I was planning on buying one when my cash reserves build up a bit.

Is there a cheaper option than ECS? I can't seem to find anyone else that sells a kit like that for the audi.

034 FTW. i'm sure you can find another shop willing to weld it up 4 you (search is your friend. link was on the second post on search)

Local exhaust shop should be able to do it and have the flex as well.

Boostedup looking for the whole dp, not just the flex pipe. I googled the bonsal dp but couldn't find another for the audi B5. . I admit I could have been more clear but thanks for the condescending search comments that always helps a guy out.

I will shop around local. I just don't have a lot of time to be on the phone during business hours. And I hate dealing with some shops who want you to pay super inflated parts cost. So it ends up costing more than if I just installed the whole DP myself.
