Unhappy Exhaust Help

Good day
My tail pipe came off my 1987 Bronco today well it didn't come off but it did rust away from the cat converter. How do I fix this and is there a cheaper way than replacing the converter. Where I live (Baltimore MD) I have had a hard time finding the two converters and people have told me to stay away from the universal ones but my main concern right now is how do I fix my pipe problem.

Thank you for all your help
Natalie

Cheap fix?- Buy a reducer to fit inside cat then get new tail pipe. they are cheap less than $40. or to be real cost effective cut off rusted part get an extention piece and replace the rusted part.

On the otherside to fix it and replace cat- Universal works great as I and many others have done. I paid $59 for the cat (One 3") and another $30 for muffler then $48 for mandrel bent tailpipe 2 1/2". But you may not need all that. Really up to you and your finances. -bob
