Depends on where the hole is. For emergency, it can be sealed with GunGum paste, sheet metal and a bit of wire. I had riveted a piece of sheet on a hole in the pot and came through the HU. Hielt two more years.

If the hole is directly on the flange or on the weld seam, there is often nix more to which one could be welded. Then you have to change.

Sometimes a pipe connector is enough when the hole is in the middle of the straight pipe

It’s unlikely that you can sweat it.

Maybe with a classic car without a cat, and hard to get spare parts.

Probably the hole is only the tip of the iceberg, i.e. the rest is also rusted and scrap. And welding in the installed state can damage the underfloor protection, so even what if you don’t want to drive the car for long anyway.

An exhaust (small damper, without the CAT) is also not particularly expensive, the working time is more expensive – this also speaks for the clean solution of a new part.

Welding is uneconomic because it doesn’t last long.

If it’s just a single hole, it should be quite convenient to fix it.

But I’d guess that’s the whole exhaust just before it’s gone. Then you can’t sweat anything. Then we need a new exhaust.

Then a new exhaust would really be recommended.

This is different from workshop to workshop. It also depends on the time required. All apprentices can join. Only if and how long it lasts is the question. The big problem at the exhaust is that more rust is there as can be seen. And rust cannot be welded.

it is only a hole but the material is already so thin that welding makes relatively little sense

is that even weldable?? first of all the first question

where is the hole? enough a repair kit

or does the part of the exhaust have to be replaced?

If you have a hole, the whole exhaust is porous.

It helps nix sweat.

If he is rusted, you can nix welding 😅

Make yourself an exhaust.
