Found my exhaust leak...need advice

[94CoupeV6]

So, I've had an exhaust leak on my 1994 Camry V6 coupe for a while now but haven't had time to find it. So today I looked under the car while it was running and on jacks, and it is the y-pipe. It is the larger flex section of the two that is leaking.

So...
-Do I need a new y-pipe, or is there a fix for this? My dad and I are going to try tomorrow to seal the leak some how.
-Should I buy a new y-pipe if I can't fix it, or should I have an exhaust shop just fix it for me.
-I looked on Ebay, but found absolutely nothing as far as a OEM replacement (if needed).
-Would it be more beneficial and cost effective to have an exhaust shop build me a new, less restrictive y-pipe (keep in mind I am sort of out of my modding stage, but if it would be the same price I would be open to it).

I really do appreciate any input you guys might have. I have been a member for a while now, but have never dealt with an exhaust leak. I know OBX made headers/y-pipe's, but am not really interested since they had problems with fitment quality.

there's no way to seal it, don't even try,...

take it to an exhaust shop and get them to weld on a new flex pipe for you...and then that's it...

That's what I was thinking, but my dad thinks that he can temporarily fix it (money is a huge problem right now). I guess we will see how it goes tomorrow, and then go from there.

How much do you think the average shop would charge to replace that flex section? It's only like 6" of piping...

I have a friend back where I'm living that would probably do it.

depends where you are...usually from $50 - $100
