I had the pipes re-welded to the cats. After years and miles, both pipes were flopping around in there. Unfortunately, my buddies at Midas did not reposition the pipe, so it is lying on the crossmber and the whole exhaust system rides a little low - I hate the look of visible exhaust when viewing the car from the side. And, during startup, we get a nice clunk to announce that the pipe hasn't fallen off.
