2000 Other Ford Models Two Wheel Drive Manual 20000 miles

THE BACK BOX FOR MY CAR EXHAUST IT RUSTED THROUGH AND IT NEEDS REPLACING. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE EXHAUST NOT JUST THE BACK BOX. I COULD NOT AFFORD THE EXTRA MONEY SO HE IS INSTEAD GONA CUT OF THE OLD BACK BOX AND ATTACHE THE NEW ONE. HE SAID THIS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS BUT I FINK HE TRYING TO GET EXTRA MONEY OUT OF ME. SURELY HE CAN JUS WELD THE BACK BOX ONTO THE PIPE. AND IT WOULDNT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. AM I RIGHT HERE OR SHOULD I CONSIDER GETTING THE WHOLE EXHAUST REPLACED? THE CAR IS A FORD FIESTA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Thats if its beyond repairable if its not leaking and the back box I presume you're talking about the catalytic converter rusted thru-get him to weld the new one on.
