Exhaust leak question
I was changing my exhasut donut gasket up in the Y pipe last night and I noticed when I was under the car that the previous owner has the pipe welded right before the cat. When i talked to him about it I asked him why that was done, he said it rusted out to the point that the pipe rusted in half and was actually hanging down. So I guess I found my exhaust leak. Is this a common problem, I thought it a little strange to rust right there and actually rust right out. In any event, any I dea what it will cost to fix? I am pretyy handy, but not a welder...

well i'd assume that you could just cut out the bad section and clamp in a new peice of pipe, if its straight that is. I'm a fan of welded exhaust, everything else i've tried has come apart. Are you saying that he welded up a hole in the pipe or welded the cat to the pipe?
