can I just weld this up, or must I do something less-ghetto?

wow, some exhaust guy was desperate to put on that hanger...not the greatest design.
I would say get more hanger material(longer), and get someone to wrap it around that muffler inlet at least a few inches, then weld it. That's the only way you will get any support out of the angle that hanger has to be.
EDIT:
Oh wait, this is hustler's thread, you can probably bend that **** by hand to the 3" diameter of the pipe, shoot a load onto it and wait for it to petrify solid. You're car won't hit a track before then anyways.

I think/hope the oily axle is from the previous motor that coated everything...I mean everything. I contemplated power washing my under-carriage today.
I have a new pumpkin with new seals so its a moot point.

I already "spackled" it.

I had an enthuza hanger break off also. Only a small part of the weld actually adhered to the pipe! Didn't take any of the pipe with it like that one did. It was just poor welding, not stress that caused my problem. Muffler shop ran a longer bead on it. It's on for good now.
In defense of them, this was Jason's personal exhaust I bought from him used. May not have been up to usual retail standards.
