I don't stock this unit, though I probably should as I have an Aerostar. I know our unit has an inner braid and costs a little extra. Not positive if that improves the durability or not. But that part will work and is at a good price.

Check that the hangar arrangement is correct. As I recall that hangar was on the muffler inlet, not the braided pipe on my '92 Aero 3.0.

How to know if the braided pipe is shot? Mine is rusty, but seems solid.

It's definitely leaking. Most smog check places around here will refuse to run a test on a ssytem that leaks like that.
