Larry-  Is that the right forward flex pipe or the left rear? <g>

These "pipes" do fail, and will not show any obvious signs (except for
the noise).  If you can reach under the car while it is running and run
your hand over and around the flex area, you will likely feel the pulse
of the exhaust.

Make sure you are sitting down before you ask Bill to quote you a price
on a new one.  You might want to try some of the wreckers, but then you
risk that the pipe was damaged in the accident.
