Turned into a big job on my '92 LX Accord. The mesh covered thing is a
flex section. It allows the side to side mounted engine to move relative
to the front to back mounted exhaust.
The cat converter on my car was hard to remove. The muffler man had to
burn off all the bolts. He had an after market one that was an exact
replacement. bob
