i have a pacesetter header that's supposed to get shipped to me eventually. so, here's the scenario:

I was wondering if i could use the stock flexpipe piece with the Pacesetter header. I don't think i'm a big fan of the ball-socket thingy, plus the downpipe/flexpipe on my car is fairly new (from the previous owner), so if it was possible to keep that piece, i think i may.....

i never understood why people are so doubtful of the flex joint, it works great, lots of hondas use them............ just keep it, man:D
