Default *Help Please- The Tip of my Catylic Converter Cracked*

Hello everyone
well i was driving and my car sounded like ****...alot of rattling and this wierd loud hissing/sucking type noise was coming from my car it was really loud...so i check it out when i got home and looked under my car and one of the bolts that holds the falange that connects the header and cat was lost...so i thought it was gonna be simple and just replace it, but when i jacked up my car and went under i saw that the tip of the Cat that connects to the header had a huuge crack....and now doesnt connect/sit well.

what can i do?

am i just going to need to replace the whole CAT?

chances are it will crack again if u get it fixed. Did it crack because of rust or because you scraped?
