welll if the cats cracked the cat may be breaking up (may or may not be a concern to you). if the cats breaking up they can weld in a replacement cat. if you don't care if its broken up they can just weld it shut.

If the cat is breaking up replace it ASAP. A faulty cat can cause a ton of issues including power loss, horrible MPG, stalling problems, and can also throw **** into your mufflers as well.

If it were me i would just get it looked at first and make sure nothing broke off and see if it can be welded and still function as it did before. If not i would just replace the converter itll save you a ton of money.
