Can the flex pipe in a 2007 Chevy Cobalt be removed and replaced without welding? Or do I need to purchase a complete downpipe to replace just the flex pipe?

If you are replacing air bags that means that they have been deployed. If they have been deployed then the body shop that has the car should be repairing this along with the other damage. This job should be left to a professional because they are very dangerous when handled improperly

SOURCE: How do I replace the exhaust pipe, from engine

If you take it to one of the muffler shops and have them ad the new pipe in with converter if you need one, that is by far easier then having to remove the whole exhaust manifold and a lot easier on everyone else not having to hear you cuss the whole time.

well the flex pipe is a good price at $319 because it will bolt on, if you get a universal one your gonna have to get it welded and what a pain it is,,,,the 10,100,000 mile warranty only cover like nothing,so this is not covered sorry Hyundai is strict with the warranty only major internal engine or trans repair does it cover,,i would just pay the $319,,,thats cheap for this repair

Testimonial: "Thanks. I thought that was a pretty good price."

Yes you can obtain the parts from after market. The Flex Pipe is installed on all cars hows engine is built in transverse. if you accelerate the engine tries to turn against the crankshaft rotation. W/o flex pipe your exhaust will be broken after a couple of minutes. The flex pipe acts like an accordion and eliminates this small "turns".
