Something Fallen Off Car?!?

Hi Everyone,

First time poster be gentle!

I have just drove my 2004 RX8 home from work today only to head a scraping noise halfway through the journey. Upon inspection something has fallen off the car about midway up the car, it has some sort of wire coming through a hole which means it wont fall off completely.

Dont suppose anyone knows what it could be?

This thread is useless without pics. It could be your mid pipe I guess.

^+1 Kinda sounds like it might be the cat being held up by the o2 sensor wire. Def get some pics up to confirm.

Maybe your o2 sensor fell out/broke? Or the little metal o2 sensor shield on the cat? Hard to say without pictures
