Default I think my cat finally seperated

I was curious where the stock rev limiter kicked in so I decided to wind out the car a little bit. Got up to around 6.5k and decided I would rather just look it up once I got home, let off the gas and my car got noticeably louder. It sounds like it has an exhaust leak and I can hear the turbo whine a lot more now. It just doesnt look like it separated, I cant see any gaps. There is like 1/8" of shiny metal on the piece thats welded to the flange. Mechanic isnt open till monday though and I have to drive around in a Cosmo Blue convertable Saab...heh

I'm at 126k miles
