No Catalytic Converter?
As I was under my car checking flex discs, I noticed that I have a straight pipe for my exhaust. Does this mean that a PO removed the catalytic converter?
This was a project I had on my horizon. Oddly enough, when I first purchased the car, the 2 bolts which connected the exhaust support bracket behind the transmission were missing. I procured them at pic-a-part. :-)

There should be a flange by the forward flex disk. Absent that, I agree someone replaced the cat with a welded-in straight pipe.
