Exhaust Fix?

Ok so umungst the glow plug issue i notice the tailpipe is hanging low this morn i look and the pc that is about 10" long that goes from the rear of the muffler that goes to the pc that goes over the axel is rotten which i knew but the little stub on the muffler is now broke not completely but twisted up so....

What do u think would be the best fix? take it to someone and let them do it or should i look at complete systems or try and fab er up myself i am a welder and know i could do it but knot sure if its worth my time?

Me personally I'd go to a muffler shop and have them make me a piece of straight pipe with slightly flared ends. Get 2 clamps and hack that muffler off. Call it done. You can get that for under 40 bucks. Or if you want to spend the cash give clay from riff raff a call and get a mbrp 4' system from him.

What are your plans for the truck? If you plan on adding any mods, then go ahead and just upgrade the exhaust. Otherwise, many of those independent muffler shops are usually pretty reasonable.
