Gee, thats funny. Guess what mine did about 10-15k mi ago? The pipe itself is not stainless and totally rusted through all around where the muffler was welded to it. You could probably fill it in with enough material, but I'd think it would rust through pretty quickly now that it is already weakened. B'sides Rusty will send you a new eberspaecher for $400... The clamp is captive on the pipe so you don't need to order a clamp. It took me about a half hour to replace the pipe with the car parked straddling a curb.
