well it seems like my flex pipe is damaged, cat is fine, and the only way to fix it is to replace both of them, which doesnt make sense since everything, including the flex pipe is working fine. is it possible to just fix the flex pipe?

The steel ones -stock- are available at muffler shops, I went down and they showed me one. Too small for me, good for stock.
