Did you or do you still own the (rear wheel drive, BTW) Aerostar? I've owned 4 of them and they came with the flex pipe. People on some of the Aerostar forums always said that a solid pipe would never last, so I've always put a flex pipe in as a replacement.
Yes, the '92 Aerostar RWD 3.0 is the one. I had the flex pipe replaced about three years ago and it rotted already, so I just had a straight pipe installed. We hardly ever drive it anymore, 500 miles in last 6 months, so not sure we will see the adverse effects if any.
