Do I need an exhaust guard?

I accidentally snapped a bolt that was holding my guard on the exhaust, and half of its now stuck in the hole where the bolt goes. There's no way I'm going to be able to get it out Sad

So do I really need it on the exhaust?

How corroded is the broken bolt? chances are since theres now nothing putting pressure on the threads it will just unscrew with a flathead screw driver, had it before where i snapped a bolt a mates his rear brake caliper, just stick a screwdriver in against the snapped bolt and unscrewed it.

At worst just drill a pilot hole and use a self tapper to hold it in. If both parts are steel then get someone to weld it.

as others have said, drill it out, take you 5mins with the correct tools. ( a drill & a cobalt or other decent bit)
if you do mess it up & make the hole too big or wreck the old internal threads, cut new threads & use a bigger size of bolt?
another 5mins with the correct tools. (tap + die set)
or just dodge it on with metal cable tie type things. (cant remember the correct name of them, its late & Im p*ssed)
cheers,
