I have a 90 Camry with a leak in the mesh portion of the exhaust pipe (3S-FE?). Is there a way to fix the leak by wrapping it somehow, as opposed to paying $135 for the replacement pipe?

Don't think so. You might check around. Might find it a bit cheaper although the cheapest I found was about $80 here in OKC so not a lot of difference.

i sawzalled out the mesh piece and spliced in a aftermarket flex-pipe..try to get the type that is made from stainless steel...the cheap-o type rust out way to fast.

Might be able to find a flex pipe that can install with exhaust pipe clamps.
