That is the steering rack. Hard to believe the down pipe broke it.

Help Identify part broke when flexpipe/converter hit it

I have a 2011 2.2L that has a diecast part directly below the flex joint/converter front connector. It runs directly above the rear crossmember. It has a cross hatch pattern along the narrow center section. Please see photos.


Not same part but shows position.

I’ve merged the two threads. That part you ask about is as Donbrew says the steering rack .
