Never been here so sorry if I don't follow proper format

Im trying to replace the down/flex pipe and catalytic converter on the exhaust of my 2006 Kia spectra

Pic related is cat. Very rusty on each end of gaskets. My question is, when I get this new cat and flex pipe (the one running from engine to cat) will I have to weld these together on top of tightening the nuts? Or do people just generally put gaskets in between the pipes ends and tighten with nuts and bolts?

Never did a full exhaust or anything with exhaust really. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I bought some of that resin high temp tape and patched it up. Went from loud as fuck to 0% noise right after the patch. Now it's loosening again because I didn't use metal clamps.

So yeah, main question is, welding a must when piecing together exhaust pipes?

Quote at the garage was 1300.00

Found the parts online for 60.00 (flex) and 210.00 (cat) I want to go back to garage and ask if they'd install the pieces if I have them shipped. I know some places give shit about not using "proper" parts though. "proper" just meaning their expensive ass fuck parts.

I fucking hate mechanics like this.

Depends on how it's coupled, I assume you have a triangular opening on one end of the cat? If so then gaskets and maybe some exhaust rtv.

I'm thinking about getting this one. Is this considered triangular? The one end that connected toward the muffler pipe, had an end like the one in link. Kind of triangular, but 4 spots for bolts.
