Long story short, I was pulling out of a parking space and my muffler fell off and damaged my passenger side rear shock and the parking brake cable that runs across the differential. Muffler pipe is also cracked. Truck has 215k miles but it still runs. 2001 Ranger XLT 2.5L manual transmission.
1. Is this a good cat back or should I spend $200 less on something more basic?

Or get a $120 kit on Rockauto that isnt Stainless Steel?
2. Rock Auto shows a left and right e-brake cable. What is damaged? It doesn't seem to be left or right but looks like it runs across the rear differential and got "bit" in two spots. You can see the muffler resting on it in the one picture and it's between the muffler and shock in the other picture.
3. I'm guessing the muffler fell and hit the driveshaft? Could it have damaged the driveshaft or u-joint? How do I check or what would I notice happening?
4. The shock on the passenger side is locked up. Can I drive 30 miles on the highway to the shop I want to get it fixed at with it locked up like that? I still need to find a way to cut out the muffler. If I yank it out, it will take out the service brake lines that are behind the rear axle.
