RT Muffler needs repair at flared end - any thoughts or sources on repair pipes with flares?

[RayBJ]

My 2020 RT muffler wore through under the exhaust clamp. I've tried a layer of soda can (AL) to patch the slit, but that burned thru. A new muffler is obscenely expensive, so I'm thinking of cutting off the end and welding in a new flared pipe. Any thoughts or sources for a short 'repair pipe' w/flare?

I think your best bet would be to find a cheap pipe or cat delete. Cut and weld the bad section. Maybe someone else will have a better idea.

Best idea I can think of, that's what I'd do. Second best idea would be to go to a muffler shop for a fix.

Agreed. A good muffler shop can fix it.

Wouldn't be hard to fix, cut the worn thru piece out and weld on a new belled end:

That's the plan. Thanks for the ideas from everyone!
