The section of my exhaust just up from the cat has started to corrode, gge told me it would be 250 to replace as they would have to replace cat, is there anything else a can do? Tried some exhaust stuff but it still sounds a bit husky...any help appreciated, cheers

ive just had this problem, the only way i can think of is to take it to a proper exhaust place (not qwik fit) and get them to weld a new joint/section on
