Well, I finally took care of this problem today at Midas and it cost $190. They just cut out the bad parts and put in new pieces. It was a flex joint on the "Y" pipe like I thought.

On a side note the guys there were real cool, they let me out into the shop and let me get under the truck so I could look at some other things while it was in the air. A lot of times customers are not allowed out in the shop. I was under my truck for about 20 minutes looking at various stuff. It sure looks different when I am not balled up on my back laying on the cold floor. I was also impressed that for each customer they took them out in the shop to show them exactly what is wrong. I thought that was a lost "art".
