The pipe coming off the cat slipped off of the pre-muffler. Does anyone know how this is normally connected. I can't get under the car enough to see. If it is a special part or something i need i will just band-aid it with some aluminum tape for now. I don't want to drive 5 hours home with the pipe hanging down and my exhaust screaming it is pretty annoying. If anyone can help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

Also I know there is a lot of az members in nyc if someone in the upper west side area has a jack or know of a good shop i could use that would be awesome. I don't feel safe going under a car with the spare tire jack.

 

so i got under the car and checked it out it seems like the weld just completely failed where the mid pipe is welded to the flange/gasket (what the v clamp tightens around). Either that or it just completely rusted apart. The exhaust is still in great shape but that v clamp had rust and was starting to fail and that pipe failed. I think I am just going to have to get a shop to weld in a piece there. A little disappointing as far as the long term quality goes. I have never seen a professional weld just completely fail like that.

Does anyone know how to contact comptech the numbers I used all go straight to voice mail.
