Hello,
I am looking for advice to repair muffler/exhaust as mine was nroken. Can you please provide advice whether to replace muffler, exhaust or just do a sold job to reconnect the parts. If you recommend a replcement, can you please also provide your recommendations on the best brands?

I have attached pics to show the rust and how it is broken.

 

I would source a used axle back muffler but you should swing by a local muffler shop and see if they think it can be repaired.

 

Most muffler shops won't try to weld the tubing when it's that bad. It rots from the inside out. I bet you could take knipex pliers and crush that tubing. Like cleric said replace it from the Ypipe to muffler. Pick N pull yard around here charges $11 for a exhaust pipe and $13 for a muffler.

 

Get a muffler shop to weld in a sleeve. Stock is legit... stay stock.
