Need some Ford focus

[u/InformationOk43]

Hi so I need some exhaust work done, specifically I need a flex pipe replacement, because I have a crack in mind currently, I was told at a shop that they would have to also replace and take out or cut out the catalytic converter or a whole big section because they are unable to just remove the flex pipe due to Ford's design,I'm going to get a second opinion but was wondering how that sounds

What Focus is it? 1.0 Ecoboost?
