In need of mechanical help

I know I'm full of questions. But I think this time I may need the help of someone in person.

So the 94 ZJ (purple one) has what is believed to be a crack in the manifold. Just recently (like a few days ago) I noticed a sort of clunk when going over bumps and such. This 'clunk' can also be felt by my feet while driving (over bumps) and it seems to be getting worse. It almost seems like something is loose.
Ty suggested that maybe the cat has separated from the manifold which would explain...

I'm in Kinburn. Pretty much at the corner of Kinburn Side rd and Loggers Way

Check out ebay for manifolds. I replaced mine on the TJ for $49. Last I looked you could still get a manifold with the expansion joints for ~$100. Figure about a 4 hour swap, mostly b/c the bolts are a PIA to get at.

Mike is a life saver, I guess not a LIFE saver, but he sure did me a big favour.
Turns out it's not the manifold at all. One of the support brackets on the front pipe broke off and made a little hole. Loud noise from hole and clunking from pipe not being supported.
SO glad its not the manifold!
