What I needed to do was go to a muffler shop and I have the section removed and a new one welded in its place, along with the mounting nut. Also what I noticed was, I was performing the removal process right, I never took inot account the rust. So after 1 1/2 I did notice the exhaust was a bit louder, this was due to a crack that had develope.
So after 14yrs of Chicago weather the under carriage looks pretty bad. In the future when I take on these jobs I will replace the whole unit that its attached to. I will also be performing a dose of penetrating oil Yearly. The other side will be done next week the O2 sensor is okay but that section (from what I was told is worst). Next step is front steering linkage.

I snagged a new old stock ingersol rand off ebay but it was still 150$
I got mine for tire rotations mainly. I dont have a big enough air compressor at home to run air tools so it worked out good.
