Thanks for your responses!
The car is extremely loud, but sluggish; the car isn't really responsive when I apply the gas.
It is a 2005 with almost 30k miles, so yes, it's still under warranty.
dnelson1627 made a good point; it probably won't be a simple re-weld as I initially thought considering the thinness of that pipe.
Anyway, I called my local dealer and I'm scheduled to bring in the car on Monday. The initial thoughts are that the repair work would be under warranty but cannot guarantee until they inspect it.
Again, thanks for all your input.

Exhaust shops cut out the stock resonator and weld in a straight pipe for around $45 from what numerous members have reported. I'm sure you could get that rewelded for $20 max. It would take an exhaust shop about 5 minutes to do.
*edit* Just read your last post, and this will be covered under warranty since it is an obvous defect and it doesn't appear you bottomed the car on anything. I'm sure they'll weld it up and send you on your way (try and work them for a new catback though...might as well give it a shot).

under california state law, all new vehicle(doesn't matter honda or toyota) manufacter have to give consumer 8 years /80k mile, whichever comes first, emission warranty, however honda has life time warranty on their muffler.
