Are you are getting a P0420 code?? If not, what code are you getting with the check engine light??
If you had a problem with the exhaust flange, I'd think you would see a hole in the exhaust pipe where the flange is welded on. There is a gasket between the two flanges, but I don't see that going bad. Did something impact the exhaust system (run over something)?? Is the vehicle LOUD?? (especially when you accelerate)
Unless you have A LOT of miles on the car, I can't see a catalytic converter going bad on a 2017 (unless it was exposed to extra unburned gas like a misfire for a long time). Did you have any "check engine" light codes prior to this P0420 code??
