You could take it to a local exhaust shop and see if they can weld aluminum. If not I would jb weld it back together.

jb weld the piece back together then put some cushioning where it hits the hole through the fender to relieve stress on it

AEM CAI's have a lifetime guarantee. Same thing happened to me last year. I emailed pics and my original receipt (this is key) to their customer service and they sent me a brand new kit in 1 week.

^^^^ if thatdoesn't work take it to a welding shop not a muffler shop. Aluminum has to be welded in the presence of argon and most muffler shops won't have that.

I doubt JB will hold on something like that.
