hard to tell, you might be able to save it by wrapping. My flex fell apart on he inside and looked good from the outside, what brand y-pipe is that?

Looks horrible, sorry dont know if its still good or not. What brand and how long have you had it. I saw a site that sells just the flex section replacements, I think it was warpspeed

It's a stock flex section, the car was bought from a dealer. If the flex section is junk I would like to try to get part of the cost of a replacement stock Y-pipe refunded to me (the stock Y is ridiculously expensive). I will probably be putting on an aftermarket Y pipe anyway. The car has a few other problems that I have to get taken care of as well.

I do, it's not my car. Look at the back of the wheel on the car - saw blades. Look at the wheel of the car parked next to it - 5 star SE rim.

If the dealer sold the car with a bad flex section I would like to get it replaced so I have a good stock Y-pipe to put on if I sell the car or at least get some money towards an aftermarket ypipe.

when I had my WSP y pipe put on, I noticed my stock Y flex section looked exactly the same as the one in the pic you posted. I had no leaks
