    The ehaust flexi?

    Price one new, depends what needs to be replaced. Some times you can just bold in the new section. Many places can weld in a universal one.

    I don't know any material that would patch it and hold

    You can buy horrid patches (in Halfords) that jubilee clip around them if you don't want to cut out and weld in a new bit.

    Yeah its exhaust flexi. Saw some holts patch with gum and clips in halfords...do they work? Or are they a waste of time?

    It can't be a lasting solution.
    Order up a weld in one (with proper dimensions) for a lasting solution.

    Considering the flexi is, well flexible and surrounded by mesh. I doubt you would ever be able to use a jubilee clip to seal it,even with sealant.
