I agree, check to see if the manifold can be welded.
Another option, depending on where you live, is to find a used part at a salvage yard. The only risk here, the EPA makes selling used cats illegal. Odd, isn't it?
I donno about "cutting" the cat off. This means someone has to make a manifold.
One last option would be an aftermarket header. Never know... could fix the problem and add 50 hp!
