They told me it was a cracked down pipe/flex pipe. They state that its my problem an it is totally coincidental that it started immediately after their work. Could they have broken this as part of removing everything to replace the chains?

I would just demand that it was quiet when you brought it in and you want it repaired. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Can't be sure but will say if a job is finished and has a problem/noise/cracked pipe wouldn't you bring it up before declaring the car finished?
