Hi all
Apologies if this has already been covered but I’ve searched and can’t find an answer to my question.
This morning on the way to work the exhaust started making a terrible noise, on inspection it has sheared off where the back box joins to the next piece of pipe. The back box itself is fine (stainless steel) but the rest of the exhaust system is original.
Can anyone tell me which part I need to replace it with please? It’s a 1998 Mk2 1.6. I’m hoping that the next section of exhaust doesn’t include the cat!? 
I’m away for the next couple of days, so ideally I’d like to order the part now so I can fit it when I return.
Cheers, Tim.
EDIT : I’ve just been out and crawled around under it, it seems that from the back box to the front of the car it’s one continuous peice, including the CAT and the mid silencer, I guess that means I need this?..

That’s an expensive bit of exhuast pipe!
