yup, both of the bolts that connect the catback piping to the cat were rusted and snapped when i tried to remove them.

Now i am stuck with rusted broken bolts sticking out of the cat that cannot be removed.

I have narrowed it down to 2 options that I think could work, but if you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me.

option 1 - go to a muffler shop and have them weld the bitch back on, i wont be able to separate the piping from the cat ever again, but that wont matter once i get new exhaust and a straight pipe.

option 2 - get a 2 in straight pipe and replace the cat with that, then buy some new bolts and re attach. (PS where could i get a 2 inch straight pipe?)

well, what do you think?
