When the flex pipe on my winnie went out, I didn't even look at it. (After I did my second exhaust lying on my back in the street when I was about 18, I swore off doing exhausts (and getting rust in my eyes)); I took the van to my local mechanic for a referral to an exhaust specialty shop.
They offered me four options from cheapest up:
1. cut the old out and put a pipe in its place... there would be another problem within the year, but was the cheapest solution
2. cut out the old and put in a used flex pipe,
3. cut out the old and put in a new "universal" flex pipe
4. cut out the old and put in a new OEM flex pipe.
I went with option #3.
I expect that flex pipe will outlast the rest of the van. hehe.
I sat in the waiting area for an hour, but once they got the van on the lift, 30 minutes later, the new one was all welded in place. I don't recall... $150 ? definitely less than $200.
