exaust..

last nite i was trying to tailwhip my back end around and my exaust blew apart. i got home and checked it and all that was wrong is that everything behind the cat just simply popped off. there was a rusted U-bolt that connected the pipe from the muff to the cat. im goin to replace that bolt right now but i was also looking and saw that there was some kind of brace that held the cat to the frame. it was all rusted out and wasnt even connected to the cat. it had a rubber bushing on it too. should i bother replacing that?

If you don't it may (or may not) create a bad vibration and make a ton of noise. Try it without it first.

as far as i can tell it has been rusted away since i got my truck. although i do hear weird noises all the time and i've tried diagnosing it a thousand times on here and looking myself. im gonna cahnge my u-joints real soon and if that doesnt do it then i'll check the exhaust.
