I'm hoping a welding job with my brother will band aid the issues for now. It's looking pretty sad.

Thats it? doesnt look to bad, a shop around here would build a full exhaust from the headers back for under 500(including the cat and muffler)

If I were you, Id order a cat back kit, cat, down pipe, and header(if its bad) and since your bro can weld have him put it together. **** if you were closer Id weld it up for you.

FYI our shop was just quoted $280 for the spacer that goes between the frame and steering box... its a small piece of cast aluminium with 3 holes in it.

JCR makes one out of steel for $50

Yeah that's it--for now. It's just hanging off. Thank you for telling me what parts. I appreciate your help soo much! I'm hoping my brother doesn't have any major issues welding it.
