Why the hell would the previous owner install it?
and how the hell do i fix the massive leak from it breaking off
That is a flex pipe.
It's used for bodge repairs of rusted out exhaust sections.
It's easy as fuck to install and lasts a good while before you need to replace it again.

I am at the point where I need to repair it, should I just install a new one?

i dont pay attention to shit like that I hate this car

Yes.
Or if you plan on keeping the car for awhile, take it to an exhaust shop.
Or buy a cheap harbor freight welder and learn how to weld.
Both will probably cost about the same.

Don't plan on keeping this car for much longer than 6 months if it makes it that long.
thanks

Golly gee that's a lot of rust.
I thought Hondas had stainless steel exhaust pipes from tip to tail. ( ?? )
>maybe you live in a place with snow and snow melting chemical accessories.

They're cheap, you can find them at your local autoparts store. $30 to $40 probably.

I live in a city with a salt mine and a lot of snow
we really fucking like to salt the roads. The car has seen like 17 winters.

They help absorb vibrations to save exhausts components before or after it from becoming damaged from said vibrations. Fix it by taking the car to an exhaust shop and have them cut it off and replace it. Should be fairly cheap since it's short. Get the braided style like pic related, will do a better job absorbing the vibrations.
