do i have to change the whole flex pipe on my 1990 honda accord?

okay so i noticed that my car was getting louder and louder... so i took it to my brother and he said that there was a hole in my flex pipe. he had me look at it, it looks like a cylindar shaped weaved thing under my car that had a decently big hole in it and that that was making the noise. i brought it to my father who patched it up a bit and made the noise a little bit quieter but didn't fix it completly and now it seems like it just keeps getting louder and louder again. i was wondering if i had to buy the wholeeee thing or just that weaved thing that has the hole in it? any suggestions to make it quieter or fix it for cheap? THANK YOU!
