Re: 2006 Vibe exhaust leak between muffler and mid pipe connection (ktt88)

I had the exact same thing happen to me today. I took the two screws and springs out and took a look and i'm thinking of just cutting off the nonbroken fitting and connecting the two pipes together with sometype of flex connector whatever canadian tire has. Any ideas out there if this would work??
