Wow i havent been round these parts in a long time... After gettin married, having a kid, and buyin a house my car quickly became the red headed step child of the family.

Anywho, I was wondering if someone could help me...

The pipe going from the cat to the resonator has rusted and snapped @ the hookup flange between the cat and pipe. The Cat looks ok, so does the resonator. is there something I can do to the pipe only to fix my issue?

Thanks Guys,John.

Well if you havnt tryed already you can try going to a exhaust shop and see how much it would be, or go down to autozone and see how much it is there.

Same exact thing happened to my Max.Welded it myself, held ok for awhile, leaked but wasn't crazy loud.Eventually I started looking for an entire cat back system online, but I had to search to find a distribute that also made that sensor pipe along with it.Found a few but the system was far past my expenses. Ended up buying a cat back, which really for my 97 Maxima was a "sensor pipe" back exhaust and had to bring it to my boys at Synergy Autowerks to do some trick welding and pipe fitting.

Turned out awesome.

Good luck fixing that thing man, I suggest bringing it to a exhaust shop where they really know what there doing. Not autozone... Honestly, good quality work is worth it in the end and shouldn't entirely blow your wallet away...
