Aftermarket B-pipe for 2002 Accord sedan?
I have a 2002 Accord 2.3 sedan with 175K, runs great, I want to keep it going.
Exhaust rusted out at the flange between the B-pipe and muffler. I don't think it can be repaired.
The Walker muffler gets good online reviews, but their B-pipe does not. OEM B-pipe is $486 and on back order. So not an option.
Can you recommend a brand of aftermarket B-pipe that would be good quality? Thanks.

I fixed the leak using a new Walker muffler, new gasket, and this split flange.

Not perfect, but quiet.
I was able to clean up the end of the B-pipe and re-use it.
My first attempt to fix it was a fail. New muffler with 2-piece AP exhaust midpipe. The AP midpipe
was very loud. I do not recommend it.
The AP I used looks a lot like the Ansa HD17195 mentioned above.
