Exhaust corroded & fallen down - which part to replace?

[ElectroDan]

Hello!

On Friday whilst driving home, my exhaust fell down so it's resting on what looks like a rollbar.

It looks like the bracket at the engine end of the cat has rusted through. Can you get this part on it's own, or is it part of the cat or perhaps the front pipe?

Any help appreciated!

thats pretty common for that bracket to rot dan, and it is separate
you could just sling the bracket and run a straight bar through the bottom holes on the rubbers instead

Best way would be as Frank said or the part from Nissan is £36.77 (20722-90J00)

Another quickie....does the exhaust just sit in the bracket? I've found a pic below, where it has 2 holes as well. Are these used for bolting the bracket to the cat/front pipe?

it fits over the exhaust dan, and good luck removing the cat nuts (they will likely be just a blob of rust)
you will wish you had just slid a bar through the rubbers :doh:

Frank, I think I will do that, I just need to find a suitable bar!
