    Alright guys and girls, another slight problem i have seemed to encounter. My catalytic converter is hanging. No idea how it happened or anything like that, but it scrapes the road. I need to get it fixed asap so i can drive it again. Short of having to replace it, how can i solidly remount it myself for the cheapest amount possible? Again i appreciate any help you guys can offer.

    Do you mean the hangers between the O2 sensor and resonator? If so, just weld them back on and mabe replace the flange as well.

    Got it fixed. The rubber piece holding the car up had snapped. $8 and a trip to the local auto parts store later and it was fixed
