The stainless steel mesh on the outside of my exhausts flex pipe has separated. Granted it's a 95, but has this happened to anyone else? Shouldn't the stainless steel last?

Oh, and the outer skin on my cat. conv. is rattling too.


When I bought my 1995 Contour I always joked I would drive it until the wheels fell off...never did I realize that with this car, that could actually happen!

I haven't got the rattling cat, but the flex pipe on our '96 went. After the mesh split off the front, the pipe itself got split as well. Nice loud ricey roar, and a major loss of power.

I got the replacement from Bill Jenkins and had a helluva time sawing off the rusted nuts. I'd recommend having someone else do it when the time comes
