Mechanics help please?

my exhuast has just dropped and is hanging down, its the piece right by the cat (i have a citreon picasso) is it possible to get it welded or will i need to replace it? and roughly how much would it cost me?

Answers:
Depending on the year and engine size of your car , you might only need a small section of exhaust to be replaced to sort out your problem , go to a mechanic you can trust to have it checked , there is a common piece that goes on these cars just in front of the cat , it's a link pipe between the down pipe and the cat and costs between £15 and £25 depending on where you go and takes about 20 minutes to fit , hope this helps
It can be welded as long as there is enough clean pipe to weld to.

Most exhausts are not too expensive but if you need the cat too then it begins to get pricey.
just hang it with a wire bring it to any repair shop chances r that it can be fixed and most shops about 25 bucks
try wiring it back into place with a wire coat hanger or an heavier wire. might save some money.
i really would replace it, i don't reccomend having it welded up. if in the uk give a few garages a call for a quote on the exhaust you may only need the front section
It sounds like the hanger has snapped.

Whether it can be fixed or not depends on whether the hanger snapped cleanly off its original weld, or whether it took part of the exhaust with it. If the exhaust is not blowing at that point, then it should be possible to clean it up and weld on a new hanger, but if not, then you're looking at a new exhaust.
Sorry for this answer .but realy now one can tell about the cost..but its now cheap.knowing its your cat .its pricie..!
If exhaust has gone, get it renewed ASAP. It will save you money in the long run. It can be welded but it will not last long as the metal will have deteriorated. If you tie it up with bits of wire ( as some suggest ) you will find that you will have less power and your fuel consumption will increase significantly.
Why can't people spell 'Citroen' ?
welding all ways couses more problems later on
get a new one should not be that expensive even through citreon.
