I have a 1995 Ford Club Wagon (econoline E-150) van. It has an exhaust
leak from a flex pipe that sits between the Catalytic converter and the
muffler. This flew pipe looks like one of those old Chinese finger
pull puzzles.

This section of pipe is $109. I look in the parts catalog for a F-150
of the same you and it does not have the flex pipe. Can I put in a
straight pipe instead of the flex pipe? Is there some reason that a
van needs a flex pipe but a pickup truck does not??

Thanks
Jude

May I ask why you asked this exact same question yesterday, got 3 excellent
responses, and then asked the same question today? Did you not like the
answers yesterday?

I do appreciate the responses!!!

I typed it twice because I'm not a computer wizard! After I typed the
first post, my computer locked up as soon as I hit enter. I assumed
the post did not go thru. The next day, I did not look far enough down
to see it and thought it confirmed my assumption. You know what they
happens when you assume

I've had my computer lock up with stuff in my outbox, and it left me
wondering what went through and what didn't.

No problem, and I'm sorry if I came off like a twerp.
