The condensation drain on my 2000 V6, drained water directly onto the weld where, the flange pipe connects to upper catalytic converter.
Overtime the flange pipe broke from rust, and cold water dripping on hot weld.
Does anyone know where to order the condensation diverter kit for a 2000 V6?

None that I have ever heard of.

It sounds to me like your 20+ year exhaust system needs to be replaced. How many miles are on the car?

I’ve never heard of such a kit. The condensation should boil off as soon as it hits the pipe anyway.

you sure the exhaust isn’t rusted up from other reasons? Such as rust belt road salt or parking over grass?
