Go to a exhaust shop. They will fix it up for you for around $40 bucks.

Default Hole in pipe?

Whoa!!! howd it happen? If its from rust then I suggest replacing the pipe or atleast that section... There is not much you can do to save it so just got to a shop and have them cut the section off and weld on another peice... I'd have them take off as much of the rust infected area as possibe... If you don't have the time or funds you can go down to just about any auto parts store and look for some exhaust tape.. I don't recomend this but atleast it can hold you for awhie to you have the funds or time.. Good luck with the car buddy... Bryan

if you want to simply fix this you can have the section cut and have another pipe added in it's place. Most likely if the rust is that big other parts should have had some structural integrity degradation...

you can go custom setup for about $600... there are time to time members selling their stock setups...

like One Hot said... only about $50 to have the pipe cut and added.

good luck.
