    Default Flex tube is broken

    Hello all.
    I need your help again. Today my car makes when rolling a weird sound and stutters a little bit. After lifted up i saw, that the left flexible tube from the header to catalytic converter is broken. Had anyone this problem an gives it a repair set without the complete catalytic converter? For other cars gives it something for welding on and i hope for the Pontiac too.

    Greetings from germany

    Sorry to hear! Some muffler shop (auto repair) could replace the flexpipe with a new one, weld on both sides. How many kms on your car?
