do stock y pipe flex sections collapse???

for those of you that have done the swap, have you ever looked in your stock ypipe flex to see if there is collapse? If there is no collapse why can't aftermarket manufactures copy this?

I've had my oem ypipe for almost 100k miles, and the flex is ok. Cattman's flex collapsed more because of the short length, than the quality of the flex material itself.
Brian Catt's flex fiasco, that is a mistake he will never repeat again to the same magnitude.
