broken exhaust

[m182]

hi can anyone help, on the way home my exhaust went my my 182. when i checked its just before the cat and the two springs either side are not attcahed to the bottom of the manifold as it looks like the rust has taken its toll. can the plate where the springs attach to be replaced or is it a new manifold? Any help thanks.

What do you mean by plate? Where the manifold to cat fitting (springs) sits on the manifold?

yeah its the where the springs fit. i think when iv been looking more, the 'cups' in the manifold end plate have gone and i need a manifold fitting kit which will have new ones and new springs to replace them.
