Front wheel drive vehicle engines move when you accelerate and decelerate, so the exhaust system must flex with it. These engines are equipped with a front exhaust pipe with a flexible section, which accommodates this movement.
When replacing this pipe, you must cut the old pipe between the flex section and the Catalytic Converter. Purchase a new front pipe from the parts store, and with it a short "coupling" piece which will be slightly larger in diameter, so to fit over the two pieces. You will also need two clamps sized to fit over the coupling.
Install the new front pipe, with the short coupling at the joint with the old section just forward of the converter. You then clamp the two ends of the coupling to complete the repair.

An exhaust flex pipe is a braided stainless steel pipe that allows for some movement between exhaust pipes (usually around 6-8" long). It is made of interwoven wires of stainless steel.

It's cheapest to buy a universal pipe and weld it on yourself. The universal flex pipe part is Walker 42216. It goes for $25-$30. If you bring the pipe to a shop, the shop should charge you around $50-$80+tax in labor to remove the old pipe and weld the new flex pipe in.
How do you replace the flex pipe on a 1995 Toyota Camry LE?
The 1994 -1996 Toyota Camry has a flexible joint inline with the Rear Catalytic Converter. (Yes two converters!) The Flex joint develops a leak and then the vehicle sounds like a tank driving down the road. The Flex joint is welded onto the pipe so it is not replaceable. Fortunately the cost for the entire pipe with the converter is very reasonably priced! Replacing the entire Converter pipe will have the vehicle back on the road in very little time.
