Replacement for Front Exhaust Tube

My God there are alot of parts to this exhaust. Mine started sounding loud so finally went under to see where it is coming from. It looks like I need to replace my Front Exhaust tube. I'm pretty sure it is part # 20020 found here:

Attached is a quick photo I took and it has to be this part.

I'm probably selling this car as soon as I get it's repairs done, so I am looking for a reasonable replacement. (I hope I can safety it with no ABS as I disconnected mine a long time ago)

Does anyone have any suggestions what I should get or where I should go? I was thinking just a muffler shop chain, but I'm not sure if aftermarket will be much cheaper. Replacement for Front Exhaust Tube-exhaust-leak.jpg

Thanks again.

I suggest looking at the f/s section on this forum to see if anyone is parting out their maxima. that way you can buy a used working one vs shelling out for a new piece. But if you cant find any you can just get a aftermarket performance ypipe

I'll take a look for sure, but I'm in Canada, so I likely won't have much luck.

I've never looked into aftermarket performance pipe. Do you have something you would suggest or others have used? Would it replace both the front and back pipe? Seems insane that piece costs $1000.00.

Thanks again,


Kevin

So it looks like this is the piece I need for my exhaust.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2004-2005-NIS..._qi=RTM1790005

I'm not sure if part of it can be replaced or not. It's leaking right in the flex part. (I think it flexes)

Does anyone think this would be a good replacement? Just trying to fix it to sell but if it runs well after who knows.

Nissan wants over $1000.00 and my garage can to aftermarket for 600.00 (not installed)

sorry for the questions, I have no idea where to get aftermarket exhaust pieces and no idea what an aftermarket performance Y tube is (mentioned above)
