Time for a new Magnaflow Main rear cat. My 2.5" in&out is leaking. There is a hole at back probably where the heat shield originally mounted (it came off last year). It's been 5 years, warranty from Magnaflow just ran out. This one is cheap aluminized steel. I will be putting on this Stainless one, part # 99206HM, 2nd pic---it is round but same length, will fit.
Recently had the flex pipe changed.

Figured out hole was possibly from an exhaust hanger mounted to cat. The new cat did not come with exhaust hanger, so he made a custom rod/hanger that mounts to both existing hangers. He welded this rod to the exhaust clamp (not the cat). Hopefully, flex pipe and cat will last a long time now. He also painted welds, rod.
