Disconnected Exhaust piping..help! *PICS*
On my 1994 Accord sedan, i have the muffler and the pipe that comes off of it, and it then connects to the midpipe which connects to the cat. and then so on and so on. Problem is, where my muffler pipe connects to the mid-pipe it is totally erroded off right before the bolt connection. I know i could get a whole new muffler and pipe, but the muffler i have now is like totally brand new and im def. not paying to get a whole new exhaust. Is there a way to disconect that pipe from the muffler and get a new one to screw in? This is all really confusing i know, so i included pictures: The first is where it is disconnected totally and the second is where you can tell which pipe im talking about.

I basically need this part but without the muffler. Just the pipe that comes after it..can i find that somewhere? Or is the pipe connected to the muffler and not bolted on..in that i would have to buy a whole new muffler. Could i get it welded back together maybe? Would that be better? Im selling the car, like, now, so i dont want to spend lots of money.

There's no quick fix for this other than taking it to the nearby muffler place and have them replace the pipes. The rest of the pipe looks very corroded anyway, you definitely need a new set. They can actually re-use your existing muffler by simply cutting and welding it to the new pipe. They'll know what to do to accomodate this. Is the muffler stainless steel? If it is, then I would suggest getting new stainless steel piping because they last longer, but the down size is that it cost more. You might want to shop around first for the best price. How's your cat? You might want to have that replace as well if its all corroded like the pipes.
Anyway, if you're low on cash at the moment,here's a quick fix. Go to the nearby auto parts store and get a short ready cut exhaust pipe with an inlet diameter the same size as your old pipes outlet(outside) diameter. You also need two pipe clamps, same size as your new short pipes outside diameter. I'm sure you can move the pipes apart, enough to squeeze the short pipe in-between the two corroded ends. Push the pipe ends into the short pipe and clamp them at each end. Good luck.

yeah most def u want to get that pipe replaced, it shouldnt cost too much, and like said, they can cut your muffler off, and put the new pipe on it, or since your gonna sell it and the odds of someone looking under the car like that are, you can just take a small piece of pipe and weld the ends together.
