Default How hard would this true dual system be to fix? (pics)

I bought a custom true dual exhaust system from ebay and the seller said it would be cut to ship but should easy to put back together. I'm not so sure it will be to easy since he cut in weird locations.




This is what worries me the most since he cut so close to the x and the pipe isn't exactly round anymore.




I don't have a welder or the knowledge to weld it myself so I'd have to take it to a shop to do it. What do you think it would take to fix? Any estimates on price?

He cut were it was already welded. It can be welded back together easily by a shop or someone that knows how to weld. They can also expand the bent pipe.

**** I could fix that in < 10 minutes, counting the time it takes to drag my little welder up from the basement!

You can spread the pipe, no problems man. It'll be easy. That's a good looking setup, btw. Flowmaster single chamber? Also, looks like one muffler is upside down.

I know nothing of welding, I didn't know if they could just but them together and weld it back up. It seems most people think this will be an easy and quick fix. Thank god, I thought I just wasted $222.

222 bucks aint bad for a TD out the back under the axel. you can rent a pipe expander from autozone and buy a SS band clamp if you wanted.

FWIW. I paid $100 to have my TD setup welded together at all the joints, a flange welded where the x-pipe joins the header, and the system was adjusted to gain a little more ground clearance. This was after I installed it with the clamps that came with the system.
