Default My first post! Need some help...

I've owned my 1998 Dodge Avenger ES for about 5 years now and I love it! Unfortunately, it sat for a year while I left the state and wasn't taken care of like I was promised it would be. Among the problems was a hole in the exhaust. After a trip to a mechanic, I was told I needed to replace the crossover pipe and that it would cost around $500! So, I was 'simply' wondering exactly what the crossover pipe was and/or if there was a place I could get one or order one for less than $500...or maybe there is an easier/cheaper fix? I have yet to check any salvage yards, but it's on my list. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply bad venge. Is that the cheapest I'm going to find it for? I don't know much about the exhaust system... Either way, I'll send him an e-mail. Thanks again!

Ok, thank you very much. I will contact him tomorrow and go from there. I really appreciate the help and HOPEFULLY I won't have to post again due to problems with my Avenger (other than recalls =] ).
