There is a dime sized hole in the pipe, about a foot from the muffler and the converter, right in the middle of the muffler and converter...what are some quick fixes to get it to pass smog?

Just want it to pass smog, I only need it to run for a few more months until I get a new car. Is there anything cheaper than exhaust wrap?

Can try exhaust wrap, but that stuff never lasts. Best to replace that section of pipe.

Cut the top and bottom off an aluminum soda can and slit the remaining piece so you can wrap it around the pipe. Put a good amount of muffler cement around the hole and install the soda can around the pipe and secure with a few hose clamps.
If you keep your "foot out of it"...don't floor board the gas...it can last quite awhile. I've done this many times for many people who didn't have or want to spend the $$$ required to fix it correctly.

Yes, to have the pipes cleaned by water mixed with ingredients that will not cause corrosion. I'm sure it has a plug too.

get a pipe cutter and cut out the bad and go to auto zone with the old piece get it just a little larger just to fit snug two clamps and that will do it and it will last a while....

Duct tape and some rubberbands should do it. All you need then is a putty knife to apply.
Good luck and God speed!
