Yes, most online exhaust places have them for about $20. They just have regular ends and it gets welded on. The one for my Zetec was 10".

Yeah, the Ford one is about 4 times the price. The aftermarket standard ones just need to be welded in place. I think when I had mine replaced they charged me $20 for the labor.

+1, 80 bucks was only the flex pipe, it had all the flanges on it so no welding had to be done.
If you want to use the stock 2-bolt main cat and the new 3-bolt flex pipe all you have to do is buy a 3-bolt flange from trubendz, cut off both of the stock flanges, cut the pipe down the size of the flex pipe, and weld on the flanges on both sides, thats what im doing and it only cost me a case of beer for my buddy to do it
