Hey /o/,
So was driving across the country in my Honda Jazz (I know right, pick you up after soccer practice) when all of a sudden loud wxhaust sounds coming from my car. Like seriously bad. Sounded like a boy racer.
When I get home I checked my exhaust muffler and it was fine so followed it up the system until I got to the centre exhaust (silencer?).
The intake pipe is corroded and has sheared off (pic related)
I don't want to take it to kwik for as I am certain they will make me oh for a whole new exhaust system.
Do you know if:
a) this will cause me problems if o ignore it for a couple weeks
b) it is possible to take it to someone who can repair the pipe by welding or something
c) I should Perdue b) or just ask for a replacement part.
I'm pretty sure it's not the catalytic converter as I think this is the next part up in the exhaust system but I don't want to risk damaging/having to replace that.
Also I'm tight as fuck so wanna spend as little as possible here - there is a reason I'm driving my aunties hand-me-down.
Thx

Soccer mom is the expression
Saying 'football mom' doesn't really sound the same

Yeah this looks amazing and I'd do it if there was anything to clamp to on the silencer unit

you should be able to get the center section from a parts supplier and replace it yourself. or remove the silencer (hacksaw) if pic related is yours and put a piece of piping across it. I don't think>>15638642 will work as it is too close to the flange.

A fit is just a piece of shit, not a soccer mom car.

It'll work because the can will be longer than the straight part of the downpipe before it bends back so the clamp will force it backwards up against the cat or resonator. If that actually won't work sawzall the whole thing off and replace with straight pipe, soup canned on both ends and held up in the middle by a coat hanger.
