Hey guys!

I bought a dual muffler tip 2 months ago from Mufflerland Tomas Morato which was basically welded in. However, the muffler tip ended up being too heavy for the somewhat rusted muffler end cover causing its outer ends to crack around 40-50%, making the tip slant and wiggle.

I visited a small muffler shop nearby hoping they could weld the sides of the covers but the guy I talked to wouldn't recommend it and wanted me to replace the whole muffler.

I had the muffler tip detached first so it wouldn't just fall off in case the whole crack worsens when driving. The inner piping is also loose/detached.

So, if I choose to have the cover and inner piping welded or repaired, do you guys think it would last, or would I rather just buy a new muffler instead?

Also, please do suggest muffler shops that are in the vicinity of Pasig. I'm still deciding on whether to make the trip to Tomas Morato since I find it quite far.
Thanks!
