Can anyone tell me what this chrome pipe (about 1" thick) is called? I need to either buy a replacement or get a weld. The pipe has a small crack where the pipe meets the mounting (on the left of my red circle below,), and I can feel exhaust blowing out of it (and it sounds a bit louder, not much mind). Perhaps it is a candidate for JB weld or other magic paste - although I doubt that would last long.
I'm not sure if it is related, but I just changed the PCV valve (which was quite dirty and probably overdue w/ 180km on clock). Last year, the hose connected to the PCV valve had fallen off and was making the car stall. I have a suspicion that the dirty valve was causing issues (a mechanic put some heater hose on the missing hose, which fixed the stalling).
