ABSTRACT:
The invention is a device for repairing a defective exhaust system of a vehicle. Some types of catalytic converters have an integral collar to hold the converter to the vehicle. Failure of the collar due to corrosion and other factors results in the converter being only partially supported by the vehicle and may also result in a poor connection with the rest of the exhaust system. The device of the invention acts both to vertically support the converter of the vehicle and to secure the converter to the rest of the exhaust system.
