[Untamed]

I have two questions, one for exhaust and one for hte AIR system on a third gen.

1. I noticed the AIR line that runs along the exhaust pipe, was cut right next to the cat. It's still connected to the manifolds, and to the exhaust pipe just behind the cat, but someone cut the line. Is there a sleeve or something I can put over that (it gets real hot) to basically reconnect the line? Or do I have to replace the whole thing? Or does it really matter, ie. can I still pass inspection with the AIR line cut?

2. There is a mounting (suspension) bracket for the exhaust pipe (I have a single line) just in front of the cat. It appears to have broken / rusted through. Has anyone else just left it alone, or should the mounting bracket be replaced because there's too much travel (bounce) in the exhaust lines near the cat?

I dont have pictures of either, but could get them next weekend.

Thanks.
