I don’t know if this is the proper section but I was wondering what you guys think is the best option for fixing my muffler. It seems to be a burn hole and people have told me to take to muffler shop and have it patched while others have told me its only a temp fix and I should replace it. Patch job is roughly $40 while the exact muffler is $160 new plus whatever Im charge for installing it. I have these pictures of it. Car is a 99 civic and muffler is a a skunk 2.
Also, I will throw this in here while Im at it. Whenever I make a left turn my rear passenger suspension makes noise. it happens more when someone is sitting in the back seat. What could be the issue with the suspension. I have Skunk 2 brand suspension with coilovers.

That looks like a backfire hole. It could probably be welded up but most likely has inside damage as well.
As for the suspension it probably is a bushing that could use some lube.
What bm3000 said- that looks like a backfire hole, id either get a new muffler or just gut it and weld it back up cause i dont think youll fix that.
As for the suspension, jack the car up and see if you can shake the wheel to replicate the noise. If it doesnt feel overly loose then its probsbly no big deal, the mounts may need to be snugged up or something.
