2007 corolla where the resonator pipe meets the muffler the flange rusted off. the system is all welded and to replace is 910.00. Would like to repair but the pipes are odd sizes, 1.9id and 2.1 od. Looking for suggestions. since the cat and the rest of the system is good, should I just cut the pipe and try andmake something work?

$910 seems really high. If you were replacing a catalytic converter that would be one thing. But for a pipe with a flange welded to it? I dunno man.
Another option would be a junkyard. As long as the ass-end of the car wasn't crushed into an accordion you should be able to pull the entire exhaust off and save yourself welding, cutting, measuring, etc.

There is a possibility that someone at a muffler shop can cut and custom weld something in that will work. The $910 estimate is most likely a quote for the "best option", which is an OE style replacement of the entire catback. This also depends on the condition of the flange directly after the converter. If you want to do an OE style replacement, it is best to know exactly what parts are still useable in the original system, then source your own parts and find a shop willing to put them on.
