Appreciate this! Best explanation so far, better than going at it blindly. Plan on welding mine back together where the crack is and welding the broken bracket as you did.
Was this 2019 Traverse AWD or FWD? Seen this issue so many times, the design is crazy, once that bracket breaks the pressure is put on the cat to hold the weight, then it cracks. If I would have known the tink tink I heard on start up was that bracket in the middle of failing I would have taken it in.
It all depends on where you are. Just remember to ask for your old part back. You can sell them for money back. If not the shop will gladly sell it and pocket the money
Had my 2018 in the dealership after throwing a p0420 code and seeing carbon on cat. Warranty due to ca emissions law 8yrs 80000 miles covered the job from the cat all the way back

Did you end up using a torch to remove the nuts for the converter itself?
