Exhaust plug problem

[Brick]

At the bottom of my exhaust under the engine there is wat looks like a sensor that goes into the exhaust that gets bolted on by 2 bolts, well my one must of got ripped out cos its no longer there and makes a horrible noise and hav lost heaps of power. So wat i need to no is...
- Is it very important?
- Is there a exhaust temp gauge i cud put in its place that has the same connection? And
-Is there a temporary way i can seal the hole cos it makes a f**ken horible noise!

its your 02 sensor. get a new one and replace it.

i put some putty stuff thats mean to be heat resistant but dnt no how hot it can go, hopefully i can get to work and back. Where do i get onw from? Wreckers? Repco?
And for the 2nd one, hows it yes, but no?

So thats what that horrible noise is being caused by...

Where exactly is this hole/flange? Is there a loom with a plug on the end of it somewhere near it?

There was originally 2 holes, one n the flexy and one in the resinator, got them fixed and now the 02 sensor been ripped out and that was yesterday. its where the exhaust comes from the block and curves to go under ur car.
