Probably a flex joint. I'll hafta get the muffler shop to weld in a joint. My mad welding skilz are sub-par.

Default That's about how my welding goes. Lotsa sparks and not much else.

It's not really that bad. I've fixed some stuff on my plow and trailer and built some seat brackets, but welding is not my forte, and the local guys will do the flex joints for $80 each.

Both my flex joints started leaking. The replacements were $20 at the local parts store and took like 10 minute a side to install.
