How do you replace the flex pipe on the exhaust system of a 1992 Nissan Maxima?
The flex on the 1992 maxima is not, to my knowledge, replaceable. What you need is the front pipe and associated gaskets and bolts/studs. I had mine replaced 2 months ago, runs great. if old bolts/studs are thinthen you need new ones. try eBay for the front pipe, got mine for $100. beware of broken manifold gaskets and studs because the removal of the front pipe might jolt some stuff around.

There are at least 10 factors to this. You really should measure for yourself.
a pacesetter header will help free up some horsepower, a muffler won't do much if anything at all, the rest of the exhaust pipe from the catalytic converter back needs to be replaced with larger diameter pipe as well.
Exactly what is the purpose of a flex pipe and what are its components and how does it work?
The purpose of the flex pipe is to give the exhaust some flexibility. On front wheel cars since the motor is mounted crosswise, when you give it gas the motor rocks and would over time break the exhaust pipe or even the exhaust manifold. On rear wheel drive cars, the exhaust pipe can twist which gives the needed flex. As far as components, it is just a woven metal sleeve over a piece of pipe that isn't attached to the ends of the flex tube. The outside woven part allows the exhaust to flex.
It is overheating. Possible causes are thermostat stuck closed, defective water pump, cooling fan not working, clogged radiator, and more. STOP drivng this car until you get this fixed. You are going to ruin this engine if you have not already done so.
Are straight pipe exhaust illegal?
Yes unless you have collector's plates (example: an old muscle car) because the car won't pass an e-check or smog check. The laws have changed considerably the last couple of decades. You can get a ticket if a cop is really looking for it, and knows anything about cars. He'd probably pull you over because of how loud the car is, and if he wanted, he could give you a ticket for illegal exhaust and noise violation.

Blue exhaust smoke is burning oil.
