now for the important question, sorry but i have to ask

The broken part is a few ounces of rust. It may have crumbled to dust on the garage floor. The cost of the repair is labor for reaching the spot and not damaging other stuff. I still have a muffler that broke a while ago. If I eventually do my own exhaust welding, I will need some practice materials.
