I went and got my oil changed yesterday, and when they were putting my car onto the lift the messed up my exhaust. I have no clue what part this is and plan on bringing it into a shop for an estimate. Any help and information on the part thats broken or how to replace the part and where to get it would be awesome. Its a 2001 a4 2.8 avant Quattro.




Sorry for the giant images I will work on resizing right now, just want to get them up to see if anyone has any insight for me. This is right behind the engine block towards the front of the car.

Any insight or info would be greatly appreciated, help a broke college student out!
Thanks Guys

 

Not seeing any images.

Also, what type of motor is it?

 

Red X's here too.

 

2.8, also just put up new pictures hope the work.

 

That's the flex. I just had a new one welded in by an independent muffler shop...I think it was about $330.

 

And that was the price for one I assume?

 

Yep, just one.

 

Alright thanks, im heading to a local shop tomorrow to see what they can do. Will update after, thanks

 

****** omg - pays to have a welder, i fixed mine in an afternoon and it only cost 2 $20 flex pipes.

 

Cripes Jonesy I thought it was bad too. So I got another estimate and he wanted $450!!
