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, 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.
