My 03 Mitsubishi Lancer I bought last year has been serving me fabulously. There are just a few minor things wrong, basic maintenance stuff really(belts brakes tie rod ends etc etc). However, there is one thing that will pose as a problem when state inspection and emissions time comes rolling around in April. One of the pipes in my exhaust system has finally rusted all the way through, right on the seam.

Now I've done some research trying to find this part but I've come up empty handed. Maybe I lack the automotive Google search know how or maybe I'm just fail, who knows. Since I cant seem to find the part I need I turn to any auto junkies who knows all of the parts or at least most of the proper names for each part in a car.

The part in question is as I said an exhaust pipe. This particular pipe is located right under the engine. I believe its the pipe that connects the exhaust manifold to the muffler, tail pipe and any other parts of the exhaust. This pipe is also connected to a longer mesh covered section. This mesh covered section may or may not be fully connected to the part I need.

I just need to know the proper name of this part so I can start pricing it to see how much I'll need to fork out when the time comes. Any help will be much appreciated
