What motor? If you got a big hole, take it out bring it to a shop have it welded, then reinstall it.

take off the stock header and have it welded at any muffler shop. since it will be on the table it will be pretty easy for the guy to fix or cut out the flex section and weld in a solid pipe.

i had a similar problem before too. my car was kinda loud and gas mileage started to suck. i found the leak and took off the header to fix it.
