Is the flex pipe considerd a part of the cat? I need to replace the flex pipe and am at 78,000. Cat's covered until 80,000. Would really save me some $$ if it is covered. Not sure if the dealer would give me a runaround or not.

 

flex pipe what they use for the sharp bends in the exhaust system its not even connected directly to the cat itself so im going to go with no

 

Check out a shop that does custom exhaust they can cut the flex out and replace it with a new one. Had mine done about a month ago and it cost me $45. Prices may vary but its a simple procedure.

 

Hmm... I went to Midas to have it looked at. They said take it to the dealer because it should be covered. Seems odd that they would pass up a job. And the guy there said the price would be in the hundreds [:'(]. I'll call Audi anyway, then shop around assuming it ain't covered.

Gracias
