Subject:Neils' Downpipe/"Y" pics + exhaust flex bushing and pipe reducer questions

Hi all.

Thought some might get a kick out of seeing the massively ugly
concoction I came up with. Yes those are some truly horrible welds,
and yes it's over welded, but it's a long story. Believe it or not, I
spent many hours on that thing! And no, I'm not making a new one! (for
now anyway --- :^)

Questions:

The flex bushing shown on same page, looks like a butt weld type. I
bought it knowing it would be, but looking at it in hand, it just
seems like a slip fit would be stronger. Is there such a thing?

When looking at Dynomax.com catalogue of pipes, the terminology of
ID/ID or ID/OD reducers has me confused.  I want to reduce the 2-1/4"
OD pipe to stock Vanagon pipe (1-3/4" ? OD) as I'm using a stock
Vanagon muffler.

Partial exhaust and flex bushing pics:

Enjoy your laugh! --- :^)

Thanks,

Neil.
