The exhaust has separated from the catalytic converter on my 2007 Toyota Tundra 4.7L V8 (sh.itjust.works)

Assuming it’s due to corrosion, am I correct that that whole section of exhaust should be replaced? I usually source my parts myself if I can. Any recommendations or things to avoid?

You can probably weld or jerry rig this together with clamps in a pinch, but you should probably replace. Unfortunate it looks like Toyota designed it to be one pipe - sometimes these are separate pieces that are cheaper and easier to replace.

A piece of stainless steel or aluminum duct and a few hose clamps will hold this together long enough for you to forget that you rigged it when it breaks again and you actually have to replace something.
