16V Exhaust: flex pipe?

The Techtonics Downpipe is far the best suggestion.

Hi folks,

	I have a leak near the flex pipe on my '88 16V.  I
just got this
car and am tidying it up, and it runs great except for
the noise of the
exhaust.  The Bentley manual is disappointingly vague
on the exhaust, 
so
I hope someone here might have been through this
already.  
	I can feel exhaust air around the flex pipe (not up
higher where
the exhaust gasket sits secures between 2 flanges with
6 bolts).  Is 
the
flex pipe easy to replace?  Is it reasonable to assume
it's gone bad if 
I
feel exhaust air around it?  Any recommendations on
sources for this 
part?

	Thanks!

	Chris
