The flex pipe is there to help with the twist from the engine. It puts stress on the Y pipe and the flex pipe is supposed to help protect the Y pipe. I would look for another replacement flex pipe before welding one on. There are Y pipes such as Stillen's that don't have the flex pipe. I would imagine it isn't terribly bad, but I would spend the extra $20-30 to get the stuff. Do you know if Megan warranties their product and if it is still under warranty? That may be another route.
