MrFatbooty - thanks for the reply.

The pipe broke where it meets the cat (see pic). Happened on the way to work and my car was freakin' loud. Anyway, not having the ability to fix myself, I had no choice but to have the shop replace the pipe/resonator assembly. Kinda pissed 'cuz the money I spent could've gone to a whole new cat-back system

I think the question for me is, how much more life can I expect w/the remainder of the exhaust setup? I don't want to have the same thing happen where something breaks while I'm driving. Everything is stock - '95 w/72,000 miles and driven the last six years in Chicago winters. If more pics would help, I can supply.

Thanks again for the help :goodjob:
