Thanks for all the suggestions everyone....makes for a good thread. I actually just finished installing my APEXi WS tonight (quite a difference from my old busted up EVO). Before the weekend I got my car up on jackstands and noticed that the entire exhaust broke in half right after the resonator (but before the S-curve section). It was being held together by the inner metal tube of the resonator. It took only 3 years and 4 months for my Greddy to screw me.

I would have done this if I had the time. I looked right at it Advanced Auto Parts but it required a "setting" time of like 3 hours and I couldn't wait that long before hitting the road.
I ended up getting a High Temp aluminum tape and cast repair kit. Wrapped the whole pipe with the tape, then wrapped it with this thin cast like material that "hardens as the exhaust heats up". Then you wrap this wire around it all to keep it together.
It worked...for a grand total of approx 15 miles....until I accelerated just slightly more than your average Grandma at a stoplight...BOOM...
Made for some good laughs all weekend though...
