Default Exhuast pipe broken

My exhaust pipe has broken between the braided metal ball and the four bolt flange. I would like any advice on if this can be fixed without going to a shop. Thanks.

That is whats known as the flex pipe. It flex's with the motor. Should not be to much coin to repair. I mean you might be able to patch it up, but it will require a welder and some skills.
Call around to different exhaust shops and get prices.

DO NOT TAKE IT TO THE STEALERSHIP!!!!!!!!

p.s. I see you have a torn CV boot. Might want to address that also, before the bearings wear out.

May require a new down pipe that connects from the Turbocharger to the catylitc converter.

This one is a bit cheaper and replaces the cat with a straight pipe. This may not work if your state has emission testing.

This is one of the top of the line options and gives you the option (Street with cat) or (Race without cat)
