Anywho, a bump again so someone can provide a definitive answer to your first question.
Thanks
Here in NJ it is illegal to buy used cats from a salvage yard. So the yards just mash the exhaust system on all the cars when they pickem up with the forks. I have looked a few used SVXi but the exhaust was never in great shape on them, leaks, corrosion, missing heat shields.

The exhaust system on my SVX is now oh about 14 years old. I have taken the system down several times in the last 6 years and one thing I have noticed is that the flanges for the connecting bolts keep getting thinner. The pipes and the rest of the parts seems to have held up well to the corrosion but the flanges are getting so thin I think they will break soon just from the spring tension. It appears the flanges are different material than the pipes.
