Default Rattling catalytic converter fix

I have seen several posts regarding temporarily fixing a rattling catalytic converter by screwing drywall screws in the bottom. My question is how long should the screws be?

When I pound on the bottom, I can hear it shake inside. I would like tobtrybthis before trying to replace it since I cannot weld a new one on.

I tried putting about 8 drywall screws in the bottom of the cat, but it didn't help. I guess I will be buying a new one, because we have E Check here and I have to have one.

Can I install a new one with welding it?

I guess you can install one using adapters and clamps. This thread from a vendor here, mudfrog, has a discount code for CF members. >->https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f10/ne...st-kits-45131/
In his posts, his signature has a link to his business. >->http://performance-curve.com/jeep.aspx
His prices for cat's are very reasonable. They're pretty good for the exhaust pipes too.
