What is your question?

Exhaust has sheered off at front of car, close to where it bolts up. Would like to install sleeve if possible, not sure what size is needed or how to do it.

wow, curious as to what happened? are you talking about were each exauhst port comes out of the engine ( the header ) or at were all of the individual tubes come in to one ( the collector )? If its at the collector take it to an exauhst shop and have them weld a new peice of tube in.

Not exactly sure how it happened, but I think my daughter(her car)probably drove over a curb that was a little too high. It snapped off right where the mesh material is at...right in front of the 4 bolt pattern.

Best thing to do is take it to exhaust shop and have it welded back together or a piece of tube stitched back in. Shouldnt be too much.
