Most likely started blowing, its cheaper to put a after market flexi pipe on than by a new cat.

Its a consumable part so will be replaced during the life of the vehicle.
More likely the picture is not accurate and its bigger on the actual part than the illustration.

as said, it would have more than likely started blowing, most 1.0 flexi pipes blow after a while. yeah its fine aslong as its not blowing.
The old flexi is tiny too like the one in the picture
