Car exhaust issue

Well guys, my car seems to have developed a rather loud deep noise similar to a high performance car. I know absolutely nothing about underneath a car but out of curiosity I crawled in underneath the engine block to take a look.

Obviously as seen in the attached pic that this is the problem and hopefully the only one. So can anyone tell me what this part is (front exhaust system???) , can it be repaired or do I need a new one. Thanks

Flexi joint. Old will need to be cut out and a new flexi welded in. Any decent motor factor should have them, just make sure its the right length.

Best left to an exhaust fitter if not very confident or no tools.

This forum is not for get quotes for jobs.
It is for DIYers that want to discuss efforts they themselves do to their cars. Read this.

Start a new thread in main forum unless you intend to do the work yourself.
