ford focus mk1 1.6 - focus exhaust front pipe leaking - paul1966

i have had a slight leak that is gradually getting worse coming from the front end of my focus, on tick over you can't hear it, its only when the engine is accelerating that you can hear it so i can't locate it. assuming the front pipe needs replacing is it a pretty straightforward job and doable using ramps?

If it isn't the flexi section, why don't you repair it? Two jubilee clips, a tin can and some Holts exhaust paste. Job's a good 'un.
