Exhaust "issue"

My Typhoon has an ATR Cat Back that has been on since the first owner bought the truck. For the most part it is in really good shape. There are a few pinholes...okay just a little bigger than pinholes in the first bend after the muffler where it turns up to go over the axle. Should I be able to get these welded up by a good exhaust shop? Do I just replace the section that is showing age (I think this will look like crap myself)? Or do I go all in on a new cat back? Been researching RPM and TurboTime for the cat back options.

I am thinking of just taking it to an exhaust shop and getting their thoughts on welding up just the holes.

Is it stainless or aluminized steel? If it's stainless, just have it fixed.

Not a weep hole at all. There are a few odd shaped holes on the top and side right after the muffler where the exhaust tubing turns up to clear the axle.

Not sure what ATR used on their exhaust as far as stainless or aluminized goes.

I am now planning on hitting up a good exhaust shop to get a eyes on "professional" opinion. If there is such a thing here in the SoCal Antelope Valley.

Re: Exhaust "issue"

put a magnet on it, 304 wont stick or very little. if you have stainless welded make sure they use stainless wire. some mufflershops dont have it. it will rust out alot faster if they weld it with steel wire.
