Re: Broken metal line

That rubber hose its attached to the diverter valve. It selects if air from the A.I.R. pump goes to the exhaust manifolds, or down stream to the catalytic converter directly.

Looks to me like that cut pipe is the pipe that would have gone down to the side of (and into) the catalytic converter.
