I advise you to take it to several muffler shops and request that they cut
out the defective section of pipe and just replace the defective section
and leave everything else as is. If the muffler shop supervisor refuses
this request--say "thanks anyway" and find a muffler shop supervisor that
will do what you want. A tape repair will not solve the problem except on
a very short term basis.

Re: exhuast pipe leaking
Cheap way is to wrap a beer can around it and clamp it with hose clamps. Did
that on and old chevy I owned and talked to the next owner three years later
and he told me he like my fix that was still there. LOL
