Default Stupid flex joint is broken again. I went searching in pursuit of a DP fix or alternative

to replace the busted joint.

A new exhaust system is out of the question, so does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm going to call my local indy shop and see how they'd go about fixing the joint and for what cost if anything else.

Or could I do this at home? I don't have a MIG welder nor have I ever learned to weld. Best left to a shop in this case?

I found out after replacing mine that a local shop replaces it for $75

How does this happen? Especially twice? 150k on my car, never ever even been a concern.
