I'm torn, They assure me there is another protective shield and there is nothing vital, mostly just added protection for the trunk.

Neither would commit to a estimate but both said it would be costly.

If the area where you need to get the bracket welded is reachable from underneath, I betcha a Midas muffler shop would weld it on for ya without asking you to take off the cat.

I had an issue with one of my muffler clamps/u-pipes once, and as a permanent fix, the guy welded it for me in 2 minutes.
