Was under the car to do CSB the other day when I found that my cat is loose on both sides of the connection.. I'm guessing this is not normal?

Cat looks OEM, and I don't remember seeing any bolts to tighten the cat down? From what I remember seeing, it appeared the cat was at some point snug around the pipes leading to it, and became dislodged (parts of exhaust are pretty scraped up).
How do you think it would be affecting performance?
I've heard it rattle before and thought it was just my exhaust tip again the car, but now I realize my cat is rattling during hard usage sometimes.

Is it just that cover that goes around it? Take it to a muffler shop to have some spot welds done.Comment

That is definitely a possibility.
Does anyone know the inlet/outlet size on the stock cat? I know our system is 2.25" and I found a nice Magnaflow aftermarket cat that says it fits a 1991 318is, however the inlet and out are 2"Different strokes for different folks.Comment
