Flex pipe for y?

I need a y pipe for my Banks kit. They want $300 for it. Do you think flex pipe would do the trick instead?

Mine cracked right at the flange drivers side, had a local muffler shop make me up a new short piece 6" long flaired out to match the exhaust manifold with a slip fit on to the existing pipe. A couple of clamps and so far so good [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] , for now.

Note: the shop didn't want to make me a new piece since he didn't have a mandrel pipe bending machine, he was concerned about the inside diameter of the curves being too small and a restriction [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img].
