ARK GRiP Exhaust???

Has anybody ever hit something very hard and made a hole on one of their Ark Axlebacks? The part that hangs the lowest was nicked hard on a bumpy road. I was wondering if it's repairable. I tried to see if Ark just sold replacement Axlebacks but nada. I'll post pics when I get on break.

Stop at a local muffler shop and ask them if it's fixable - They mite weld a plate to cover the damage not sure if that will effect the sound/performance

Just came back from a muffler shop. The job wasn't really that clean but I paid $25. I'll just grind it a bit to smooth it out. Not really concerned about how it looks because it's not visible unless u get under the car. The sound is like it used be without the constant hissing so I'm happy with it.

Here's a before and after pic:

It was either spending a couple thousand on a new exhaust or $25 on a cheap remedy.

Its not gorgeous but its just filling a hole. That's pretty hard without welding a plate or anything in place.
