Can these be purchased and is it a reasonable fix?
Not knowing what year and model of car you have, I've provided a sample of what I found on eBay in 5 minutes. This should take you abou 2 hours including raising the car. Jack it the night before and spay all bolts/nuts with penetrant. Get a new exhaust gasket from your dealer. This is DIY that can be accomplished for less than $300...
