Hey guys today all of a sudden the car started making noises and I thought exhaust gone bad. I looked under the car and noticed that catalytic converter is detached from the flex pipe (image attached).
I wonder how did it even detached like this as I see no rust and nothing. I also could not find any image online that will show me how these two were connected to begin with. Am I missing any part here?
I am worried if it is going to cost me an arm or a leg to have this repaired?
Got it repaired today from my mechanic. Looks like he changed the mesh piece. New piece looks much smaller than the one that was there before. I wonder if size of these things matter? I didn’t look under until I got home or else I would have asked my mechanic about it right there. See picture.
Hard to tell since you took the last picture from a different angle. There's some kind of flange that partially covers the flex pipe so could be obscuring it more in your last shot.
