Try some of the standard stainless places, Jetex, Powerflow ect. They should all list franchised garages, try contacting them.

Remember the Flexi itself should be no more than £20, so might be worth taking that along. 

When I had the 2.2 done, I removed the down pipe (dead easy) then took it to an expert to have it done. Depending where in Lincolnshire you are, that could be an option. Members such as Darth Loo Knee (Stoke Area) or Elite Pete might be willing to do this for some beer tokens 

I thought I did it?

Yes.. You are the expert

Sorted, at last, thanks for all the excellent advice here.
Waited a long time for the flexi to arrive from fleabay. Custom (PowerFlow) fitter nearby put it on today and running quiet again. He wanted to take the front pipe off to get a better weld, but 2 mechanics struggling for ages couldn't get it off the studs in the manifold, I also tried. He said he'd not seen anything like it before, anyway he welded the flexi on the cat, then finished in situ and it seems ok. It's hard to believe - the nuts came off easily, it was hanging free, you could wobble it around in all directions, but it wouldn't come off the studs. Crooked (bent) studs? They look allright, so I don't get it. I think it's lucky I wasn't taking it off on the drive.

At the exhaust manifold end, they usually come off ok if you soak them in plusgas for a bit.

Post cat, they can rust and be seized & easily snap off
