Thats actually pretty funny... How are your engine mounts? I cant imagine how it would be able to flex enough to break.

It's not really flexing. As it heats and cools it stresses the metal. It also has the weight of the exhaust pulling on it.

Here's a picture of my car since I never posted one, a picture of where the cat just snapped right off... and two pictures of my mr2 motor I've been building....

How much is a test pipe? And I can put that too a stock exhaust? Where can I buy it at?

That looks like a clean break. I see some shiny metal in that pic around where it broke. Test pipe - you can order one from Renn-Art for I believe it was like $175 who just happens to be a sponsor. There are a few people on here that can vouch for them such as Arif.
