Last night the flange that connects my Corsa's to the center pipes broke right at the weld, clean as a whistle, right where the flange is welded to the pipe.

First question: can this be re welded and do you know any muffler shops in Northern Connecticut who won't screw this up.

Thanks as always from the cold dark north.

Very common. It's just steel, so any decent muffler shop can reweld it.
Just be sure you line up the muffler correctly before they tack it back in place.
