and if it is shot, you can use Grim's Cat converter easy fix:
necessary tools: 1 pole of slightly smaller diameter than exhaust piping
1 Large hammer
place 1 end of pole into center section of converter
vigorously hammer other end of pole with large hammer.
Fixed.

also, if a cat is shot, wouldn't your exhuast smell like sewer? I herd that somewhere before.
