Help Please: Exhaust joint
2005 Xa. The pipe after the catalytic converter is rotted where it joins the pipe to the muffler. Below are links to pics.
Questions please:
1. The catalytic converter assembly looks like "one big long welded pipe" ? I can't find any joints ?
2. Any inexpensive way to fix this connection ? I hope I don't have to replace this "big long catalytic converter pipe".
3. Any good sources for parts ?
Thanks !!!

Looks like this is the whole assembly ? (the 099-1603 part)
$300 just for the part...bummer. Gotta be a cheaper way.

I needed to to do a quick repair so I: 1. Wrapped bad joint with aluminum tape tape they use for HVAC systems, 2. Wrapped that with metal roof flashing, then 3. Put two U clamps around it.
