Exhaust patched, please don't tailgate
Got the exhaust patched with some aluminum roof flashing and three adjustable pipe clamps. Next thing to fix is the front mount of the torque arm (yes, I do drive my car that hard).
The car is like a little green dragon, spittin' flames out the back quite consistently.
Gonna have to take the neighbors' daughters out for a test ride soon. Then maybe for a ride in the car, too.

Re: Exhaust patched, please don't tailgate
The fix looks great, much cheaper than new headers and a painful install. Headers are banged up more than a $2 ho. Will post pics (of the fix, not a $2 ho) sometime soon.
Chicken wire? Nah, I drive a domestic, not a rice rocket.
Looks like I cracked some welds for the torque arm support and wiggled loose a bolt on the torque arm mount. Will take off the floorboards of my trailer to take a peek underneath once my work deadline is met here in the office. Been working 7 long days a week for several weeks now. Garage is still packed with boxes as I haven't really moved in at all yet.
Severe power loss above 5500 rpm (tune) and runs too richly at idle (tune), causing the flaming backfire. Car is not a daily driver in any sense and is a low priority at this point. Will fix the car before getting it retuned. Paying the loot to get a broken car tuned is a waste.
