Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
I would say you need somebody who can weld the broken parts together, but you have to check first which welding type is possible and if it is possible.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

From what I read here was sure my rattle was heat shield but turns out it's just my tips tapping. Looks like there should be some kind of spacer between these. Any ideas?
I can't see from the photo which material the exhaust is. I would say you need somebody who can weld the broken parts together, but you have to check first which welding type is possible and if it is possible. Exhaust has to be removed. Welded seams need to be cleaned, so there is no rust and then the parts has to be rewelded.
Else you have to buy new exhaust tips. But i don't know which ones will fit to your exhaust. You have to measure everything; especially the diameter of the connector pipes. Can't see from the picture if the exhaust tip is welded or clamped to the silencer.

I think stelan means something like this:
I don't think that will work in that case, because the welds are rusted and brittle. Better to clean everything and reweld it.
