Default "Flex Pipe" "Flange" or DIE !!! =O

My 1995 Es300 has a bad flex pie or flange, I dontknow the name exactly, it looks like an accordiom, well the part where it used to be welded has come apart and the muffler is really loud, and the car kinda slow. Ive seen some "flex"pipes o y pipes on sell on EBAY but theyre for a 1994. Could this part fit my 95 ? Id hate for the carbon monoxide to kill me, as I try and figure this out.

1994-1996 is the same part according to a couple of online Lexus OEM parts catalogs. Make sure you get the 3 gaskets at the same time, and you'll probably need a torch to get the bolts off of the catalytic converter. Copper anti-seize compound on the fasteners makes the job much easier the next time around.
