Assuming it’s due to corrosion, am I correct that that whole section of exhaust should be replaced? I usually source my parts myself if I can. Any recommendations or things to avoid?

Flush as far as I can tellYeah that’ll be a replace of at least the cat now unfortunately.
If there was a stub you can re-clamp to it and check for leaks. If there isn’t one you’re good to go until it falls off again.
I was completely wrong when I looked yesterday. I don’t think it s as bad.
You might be able to get away with cutting out a section and clamping a new piece on.
If you do please check that there isn’t an exhaust leak.
That’s well fixable. I got a stainless steel toilet brush holder and cut a cylinder out of it, cut it down lengthways and wrap it round, with some GunGum underneath. Four heavy duty jubilee clips to hold it in place.
Lasted for about 5 years on a MK5 Transit
Yeah thats broke
Either clean up and attempt to weld a sleeve or get a new exhaust from the cat back
You can probably weld or jerry rig this together with clamps in a pinch, but you should probably replace. Unfortunate it looks like Toyota designed it to be one pipe - sometimes these are separate pieces that are cheaper and easier to replace.
A piece of stainless steel or aluminum duct and a few hose clamps will hold this together long enough for you to forget that you rigged it when it breaks again and you actually have to replace something.
That’s not a catalytic converter that’s just a resonator (or possibly muffler) to set the exhaust tone. A cat is further up toward the engine and has O2 sensors before and after it. You can probably just clamp it for a while but the proper fix is to have a new resonator/muffler put in or have it cut out and replaced with a section of pipe.
