    Two questions, how would you know if the flex pipe needs to be change? Would there be a code using an OBD2 sensor? Also do you need to warm up the bolts next to the front catalytic converter next to the O2 sensor? I’m asking because I don’t have a torch

      Well when flex pipe brakes it would leaks and car would be making loud noise and yes heat up the bolts so they don’t snap

    Was only the flex pipe replaced, or the cat also? And can the flex pipe cause a bit of loss of power like a bad cat does?
    I’m looking at a car with the po420 code, it has an exhaust leak, I’m suspecting the flex pipe, but I think I notice a slight less power than it should have. So prop a slightly clogged cat…

    I have a 2006 Toyota Camry.. does this have two catalytic converter’s? One that has to be welded in the back in order to be replaced? Im not a mechanic he said , mechanic he could replace the front catalytic converter but couldn’t weld the back one? He was a mechanic working out of his garage. The sensor keep going off after he removed the catalytic converter, I watched him. Replace it. Car was making loud noise and barely accelerating before he repaired it. I am wondering about the welding issue? And the error code.

    The flex flange on my 08 Buick lucerne opened up and threw a p0420 code, l replaced it with a walker after market flexpipe unit with the new cat looking similar to the 1 you replaced in vid, after clearing the code & driving 2wks I threw a p0420 again, any ideas? Rear 02? Its non ca emissions car. The p0420 code is the only code I'm getting.

      I also rechecked the converter is correct according to Walker exhaust for Fed emissions car as mine is.
