The 2-bolt flange WITH the donut gasket AND the spring bolts IS a flex joint. Just a flange to flange connection obviously isn't.

So I have a 1998 Ford Contour SVT, so i dont have a stock flex pipe? I am installing headers, so where can i pick u a flex pipe and what size is it and such??
would this work????
Flex Pipe
Also where do i mount the flex pipe? I am not too familiar wiht the setup on the SVT exhaust so in order what components do i need from the engine back?
I have another problem too.... my stock cat is a 2 bolt flange (1998 svt) and my new y pipe from WR is going to be the 3 bolt flange.... so what shall i do about that?

Most likey you don't have a stock flex-pipe, but rather the "donut"-style flex gasket. What you need to do is either buy a cat with a 3-bolt flange along with a 3-bolt flex-pipe, or buy the 3-bolt flex-pipe and have an exhaust shop weld a 3-bolt flange on your current cat/test-pipe in place of your 2-bolt flange. The flex pipe goes after your Y-pipe and before your cat. I would recommend just ordering a Hi-Flo 3-bolt cat from Tru-Bendz and then get the 3-bolt flex-pipe since it would be dumb to have a crappy stock clogged cat right after your nice flowing headers.
