I've tried a couple searches and struck out. I'm trying to find out what folks do about the braided exhaust coupler that's located under the driver side. Mine is torn up and I assume leaking. When looking for a VX I'd noticed the couple I looked at were also torn so, I assume this is a common failure.

What does everyone do about this? Is it a stock part that can be replaced or just a generic thing any muffler shop can handle?
