missing my midpipe

so for the last couple of weeks i've noticed a clunking noise in the back and a loss of back pressure, when excellerating.....

i thought it was my exhaust and so today, i crawled under and took a look

turns out one of the hangers from my exhaust fell off the hook (no big deal... i can fix that)
....BUT i seem to be missing a part in my mid pipe. I have no clue how or when it went missing

is there a clamp or anything i can use to fix it?

Did it rust out or are the edges clean? If clean you may have had a resontator there that has somehow dropped out... if rusted...time for a new exhaust

Maybe the saw thieves have hit you too?

The replacement is about $75 - $85 new.

You might wanna invest in a new cat back...

I think you'd need the whole mid pipe I could be wrong though...

it's 75 to 85 bucks ...


I just think this because of the size of the chunk missing

if you go to any decent muffler shop, like JPG, not intending to shamelessly plug them, but they will replace just a section of a pipe, just the section that's missing, and if you don't want to go to oakville I think other muffler shops that do the same thing exist... they'll custom bend a short length of pipe and install it in the gap...
