Default Front Pipe Replacement

Looking to replace this pipe on my 93 Accord SE, as the "flex pipe" portion of this pipe is corroded and leaking bad. Having a tough time finding the right pipe. RockAuto.com shows that the Walker #53189 is a match, but the diagram doesn't exactly match my existing part. Can anyone recommend a site that carries a match for this car?
I was hoping to just replace the flex pipe portion, but it tapers towards the front (not a straight pipe so I can't clamp onto the taper. Make sense?)

If you just want to replace the flex pipe you will have to take it to a muffler shop and have them weld in a universal flex pipe. Ether that or you can cut it out and buy a universal fit flex pipe to fit the OD of your pipe and weldi it in yourself or use some exhaust clamps to connect it.

If you are looking for a bolt in OEM Honda part. It is the complete down pipe section including the flex pipe. It is referred to as the A Pipe and the Pt. No. is 18210-SM4-X35

A cheaper option may be to buy a complete ebay header that comes complete with the downpipe and flex.
