Default Cat broke loose. How is it held on there normally?

What does the catalytic converter look like when not connnected to the turbo?

The pipe is broken off. But, it is a clean break. how is it held on at that point? Pictures anynone?

Does anyone have a picture of their cat so I can see how they are supposed to look?
