Re: Muffler problems
For clarification.......
The flex pipe is available as 1 unit.........although I think you might end up cutting the back off and using a sleeve to install the new one.
Walker has a nice one.......available on Rockauto.
Directly behind the flex pipe is the muffler....a big square or rectangle unit.
Then a pipe goes back to the rear......and behind the rear wheel is the resonator.
There is SUPPOSED to be a hole in the bottom of the resonator for the water to drain out........so water draining out the bottom of the resonator is NORMAL.
The muffler and all the way back through the resonator and tail pipe is ALL ONE ASSEMBLY........
I would not mess with it unless it is clearly defective.
My '96 3.8L still has the original assembly.....including the flex pipe......
It has a different "Y" pipe with the 2 catalytic converters......because one of the catalytic converters was rattling from the inside (not the heat shields).
I bought a new flex pipe a few years ago as mine was looking like it was starting to fall apart.....but it is still hanging in there.
