Ahh, I selected "NAPA Exhaust" during the search, I assumed Sound Master wasn't their store brand. Coincidentally it's also a Tenneco/Walker manufactured product LOL

My flange is totally rotted out, so it'll be a weld job no matter what.

That's the bolts. You could get that to reseal if you cut the bolts off and put a new oem gasket with high temp jb weld and crush it all together. Granted, be better being welded or new flange. But my Tetanus is about 10x worse then that at its flange is sealed.  I dont see why the ebay wont work I only have the tailpipe at the moment and it's been on there for almost a year
Worst case is yes cut to fit. My 98 exhaust looks pretty close placement as my 01 exhaust but a PO really screwed up that exhaust. I never measured or anything so they may slightly be longer etc.

Somewhere around here is a image of the cat side replacement flange from FX.

How's the tailpipe working out for you, although this northeast winter has been extremely mild so far.
Hopefully the weather stays like this until I can repair my OEM tailpipe, need to weld on some metal on what's left of the flange then grind it flat. In hindsight if I knew I'd be slacking on repairing my exhaust I would've just gotten the whole exhaust from that ebay seller.

Its slightly oxidized but for the price I honestly can not complain. As I didnt expect it not oxidize some. Its only been about a year so time will tell. I rather run OEM but they just go insane on their exhaust pricing.
All these flanges rot off. Nobody wants to make them out of semi or high grade stainless steel.
I never tried the exhaust that goes with this tailpipe yet. Somehow my Walker muffler is still intact. I expected it a few months to go after my tailpipe did. But its still on there with no holes.

Anyone have any feedback on Walker's premium stainless QuietFlow exhaust? Even if it is the lowest grade of stainless, I figure you're paying for the lifetime warranty over the aluminized steel SoundFX version.

My napa cat back system is aluminized and still looking good after at least 5 years and around 25,000 miles.

What about painting the problem areas with high heat paint?

I installed this one in August 2016.
Amazon.com: Walker 54681 Quiet-Flow Stainless Steel Muffler Assembly: Automotive
So far so good. It was a rough fit to start, but I think it has a few more years in it. This is the Cali. version (NOT CARB-approved).

I installed Walker #55054 back in August. Considering it's been a whole 6 months, so far, so good. That said, notice that I'm in Colorado and it'll probably never rust.
I re-used the tailpipe section as there was nothing wrong with it and bought new gaskets (including one for the o2).

Good to know. I guess no one has experience with the Northeastern muffler then. I might just get the Walker in that case. Thanks for the info.

I have both the muffler and tail pipe that I got on ebay, I've only had them on for this winter, and I painted both with high temp exhaust paint. So far no complaints, barely any surface rust on them.

I will put on one Tetanus 1 once the Walker goes as I figure one of these days it will be toast..
I know in the rust belt, don't expect the walker exhaust to last too long as my 02 camry didnt make 4 years before the walker was junk.. I got a replacement walker but if I had a choice between playing around with exhausts or just putting one on and forgetting about it. I would choose forgetting about it with a quality ones if they even exist besides OEM.
