   Today I was driving, and I heard a rally car in the middle of the town, I lowered my windows to hear from where it was coming
   
   Well I stoped at a safe spot, my car sounded like a true rally car...
   I looked underneath and saw the exhaust ( from back to front-THE back was still on), It was hanging disconnected
   
   back to front
   tailpipe-backbox in place, pipe, middlebox, catalytic converterand thats where it was disconected...
   
   I drove the car to my friends house (was a real headturner )
   
   I really hope I didn't lose anything, and that I can place the cat back inside the pipe, and fix the system in place with the missing clamps...
   
   I was hoping somebody here had a picture of the system so I could understand easier what is missing or why it fell out....
   
   Is this just a clamp and a weld job or is tehere the wired part missing beewten the cat and the pipe???
   
   I DESPERATE NEED OF PICTURES IF YOU HAVE!

   Yes, here in Slovenia, we have VTS 1.4, 1.6 8v and 1.6 16v its all VTS,
   So what do you reckon, just to get the clamps and insert it back in or, to weld?
   
   I have a different tailbox, and the does go at the top of the right pipe if I remember correctly...

   Can you get any pics? either the clamps rusted away or the actual join has.
   
   Top of the pic bolts to a cat then from the cat to the downpipe

   imagine it split after the cat joins the pipe like my old one did.
   
   quick easy weld job and it cost me £30.

   Thanks Guys, I appreciate.
   
   But I have to confess, that the the pipe which goes in which the CAT goes isn't split, I was driving offroad with my saxo 2 weeks ago, and I herd a HHHHHHKKKKSSSSSS, when I drove over some bumps, never got to check the bottom in a Ditch, So Im guessing I tore the clamp of...
   
   Is it expensive, and is that the only thing that hold that section of the exhaust system in?
