Default Exhaust broken right after cat

Driving 91 honda accord ex manual stock, my exhaust had suddenly broken right where the cat hooks on to the rest of the piping that leads to the rear. I searched the archived stuff and couldnt find much. Maybe some one out there has had a similar problem. Anyway I was thininking of shaping some aluminum sheet metal to make some sort of fitting and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on this.

why bother to fingerfwak it when you can have it welded for like 20 bucks?

they sell exhasut patch kit at autozone but it's pretty ghetto looking also

he has a crack, you need a whole catback.

200 sounds about right if they weld you up a new pipe and new resonator/muffler

and to the original poster, you still have all the pipe/resonator/muffler, right?

Get it welded. Stop rigging up your car.

It will cost you 20-30$. Ever actually go to a muffler shop and ask?
