Default exhaust help

I put my car up to look for holes in the exhaust and when i rev the engine it seems liek the loud noise is coming out of this piece.
This is my first car and i really dont know much so should i bother trying to fix this part (if there is something i can do) or should i try to replace the whole exhaust system? Also ive been looking for exhuast systems and it is basically impossible to find on for a 95 accord ex v6 any idea where i could get one? thanks

You would probably be fine just having an exhaust shop make you a system with a resonator and a muffler of your choice.

yea.......your gonna wanna fix that.....virtually no aftermarket support for the 5th gen v6, but a shop could fix you up a custom one for much cheaper than name brand

probably in the 250-300 ballpark depending on a lot of things (choice of muffler/resonator, SS or not, crush or mandrel bent)

Well they can do the whole thing for you but they may not mandrel bend the piping and that makes a big difference in performance.

I just replaced this pipe yesterday on her 96 accord.

best thing to do is go to a auto parts store & order the midpipe, mine cost $89 at Advance Auto Parts & get the 2 gaskets for each end. total will cost $100. & its easy to do as long as to have a set of jack stands.
This also get rid of the annoying rattleing sound as you give the car gas
