Re: Exhaust welding required
I had loads of hassle trying to find someone to do this for my exhaust midpipe. Ended up posting it to Hayward & Scott, cost under a ton and has a lifetime warranty + was a perfect fit.
However I reckon you can buy downpipes with flexi in for not much more than a ton so might not be worth it in that respect. I had little choice as it's a custom midpipe and I couldn't buy another one.

Re: Exhaust welding required
Shame your not local to me mate, would of been happy to do it.
I did mine myself, Bought new flexi for£18, welded it myself.
No need for a jig if you do it in situ, just remove the downpipe, clean up the ends from the old flexi with a grinder, fit the new bit and bolt it all back together loosely, then just tack weld 2 or 3 points on both ends of the new flexi so it stays in that position, remove, weld up the ends, re fit.
If you dont have a welder, or cant weld, then i guess the above is totaly useless to you, but i hope it helps.
