When my exhaust pipe failed 187,000 miles with the original Saturn pipe and muffler I decided to go back to the original. I purchased the full kit listed, this item is listed because the kit is for joining sections of pipe using couplers and U-bolts. I was ready to do it, but after thinking about it, the original material went through a lot of conditions and salt. The U-shape panty design is great if you don't have a welder. I see it as a future place where salt and road dirt can hide, hang out
