Default so i got my neon back but i got two questions

k....... so i got my baby back im so happy finally i got my baby back
i replace alot after the accident primeraly the rack and pinion
when i drove my car it was all over ther place it pulled everywhere like crazy and the steering wheel is loose like it has alot of play in it. it seems and when i stepped on the gas it pulled on way and then i turned the wheel and almost crashed cuz i lost controll for a secound.
i still havent alighned my baby so i think this is why its doing this could that be the reson?
and then the other question is
my mech put my exhust back on but he forgot to put the high flow cat on so now im wondering how bad this is long term?
i have the obx lth and it has the two bungs can i just hook up the down stream down there and wat not or wat do yall think?
i dont wanna have a problem and i dont wanna mess up my engine
i cant afford it.
thanks guys i will admit i didnt even bother searching i gatta work tommerow morning on my birthday so yea thanks yall

i owe him 200 bucks cuz i paid him for wat he first did and then it turned off the same day while driving and **** and i didnt feel like arguing so he towed it for 30 bucks and fixed it for free or vice versa
then i told him do my exhust the right way he did it sorta he said that since my test isnt up for a while i can run the wit out a cat and since he already had everything welded i was like ok fine
now i went out at 12 am to check all the fuses and they all work
i swhitch the throttle body back how it was and connected the breather hose i also noticed that the accel cable had alot of slack in it so then i remember that i took a pin off the gas pedal. where the accel line comes thru the firewall and attactcjes the pedal to the cable ? so yea after i fixed the bellow tube i tried to but it was to cold and the black light wasnt a smart idea it worked and might i say my car is dirtier then i thought anyway so yea ill keep yall posted tommerow i am going to clean the hell out that car and see if i install my neon lights even tho i cant drive my car i hate have new stuff and not installing it lol
and even tho my life is ****ty i just gatta remember that if you wnat good things to happend to you you have to make it happen at wat ever cost
oh and no i didnt pay him imma get it aligned asap and then if it still runs like **** then i will be like look you gatta finish fixing this its still runs blah
umm yea so **** it man i am not ganna be sad no more life has to much potential to be sad all day
