On the advise from another site, I was able to get the entire pipe replaced under the federal emissions warranty. I did have to pay for a new O2 sensor ($154 total bill) as they claim it cannot be removed without damage after so many miles. I did not want to argue about that since the cost for the pipe, from the dealer, is $1099! ANyway, the car is nice and quiet once again and runs a tiny bit smoother as well (old O2 sensor not up to snuff?).
