DNA MOTORING Flex Pipe Connector for Chevy Cavalier/Cobalt/HHR/Saturn L100/Ion 2.25" T-304 Stainless, TIG-Welded Flange

DNA MOTORING FXP-CCOB05 is a direct-fit stainless-steel flex pipe connector that replaces the weakened factory flex section to restore exhaust integrity for select 1999–2010 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models.

Over time, the flexible section of a vehicle’s exhaust is the first to fail from heat, vibration and road stress. The FXP-CCOB05 is engineered as an affordable repair alternative to replacing an entire catalytic converter or attempting a temporary weld fix. Built from T-304 stainless steel with precision TIG welds and a CNC-machined flange, this connector is designed to bolt to the stock manifold and either clamp or weld to the factory pipe for a long-lasting repair.

How does this flex pipe connector restore a damaged exhaust flex section?

The FXP-CCOB05 replaces the factory flex portion by providing a direct-fit head pipe piece that bolts to your manifold and mates with the factory outlet. It eliminates leaks, reduces exhaust movement at the failure point, and brings back secure routing without swapping the catalytic converter.

• 3-bolt 2.25" diameter inlet matches factory manifold bolt pattern
• 2.25" factory-sized outlet slips over existing exhaust pipe for clamping or welding
• T-304 stainless construction resists corrosion and heat
• TIG-welded CNC flange increases pressure resistance and longevity
