Wagon Specific Exhaust

I talked to my friend who owns a shop here in town and found out that he is getting a pipe bender( i think). And we have thrown around the idea of a bolt on aftermarket exhaust. Who would be interested?

And is his intention to avoid that FART can sound that is so prevalent on aftermarket Riceburners?
As soon as they get it ill have it done to my wagon and post video online.
I've argued with a buddy of mine over this point. He claims there is NO flex at all. But i thought i remembered a pivoting point in front of the CAT, but he's saying no. It's not the braided kind of FLEXY pipe that was on earlier hondas, but i think i see a flex part on the Majestic blowup of the Exhaust System.

Anybody here actually work on exhaust that can tell us for sure?
it's part #17
i distinctly remember when my whole exhaust from the downpipe to the muffler was laying in my garage and there was some flexibilty to it right before the catalytic.
Like i said earlier......i know it's not as flexy as the exhaust that was on my 80 civic. That thing was a pretty pricey woven mesh pipe.
Just wanted to ask if your buddy was using the stock system as a blueprint. I've had 1st hand experoence with "Exhaust Guys" who just put in a solid pipe where some flex component was needed. This works for awhile, but sooner or later you get a crack at a bend or the bolts to the manifold work themselves loose. Alot of 4 cylinders are designed with a HUGE amount of rocking going on, hence the flexible part on the exhaust to accomodate that movement of the motor on it's mounts. So no offense, i was just asking if anyone here knew for sure what the components on our wagons consisted of.
Once i get a for sure response on this subject & the "Fart Can" sound i
would interested in a decently priced replacement should i need to replace mine. Who wouldn't be?
