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!
