Lately my buddy's car has been getting louder and louder. We recently discovered that his DP has cracked right at the flex pipe. Its approximately 2 years. Any idea if this can be repaired?
Cracked Cooleeze DP can it be repaired?

what the... Umm wtf was causing this? Normally just get a new flex section, cut it and reweld it homeslice!
:aigo: DAMN! That flex section obviously didn't flex enough LOL. You should be able to get it welded at any local mufler shop. That must have been one huge speed bump....
One other thing - if that pipe has been ceramic coated (looks like it might be), you will have to remove the ceramic in the areas where you plan to weld. Ceramic resists heat very well...welding on top of it is a big problem 
I'd replace the whole flex section...just make sure you mke some index marks to properly align the pipe again.

I think this might do the job better than the one on there. They come in different lengths and diameters.
Slow down over those speed bumps....

Replace it with a braided style flex section. Cooleeze makes some cheap junk, so it doesn't surprise me.
