1999 Ford Escort SPORT

I went to a local repair shop today to get my oil changed and the guy took me out and showed me that my "Flexpipe" needs to be replaced. He said the teathering on the outside is gone and that it is now exposed to the elements and will eventually leak. He said he could cut it off on both sides and reweld one for $150.
He said if I don't do it in a week or two it will cost me $450 for a new exhaust!
I saw on a search that it should cost me $75 or something, but what are your opinions? Should I get it done? Is this a really common repair? Should I try and do it?
Thank you to all replies, and for looking
