90 Camry- Failed emissions three times in a row!

Well, my winter beater has failed emissions three times now and I'm almost 95% positive I need a new catalytic converter. The failures were caused by NO2 and Hydrocarbon levels.

My 90 Camry is 2WD and four cylinders. Which catalytic converter do I need? Where is the cheapest place to buy one? Thanks.

What else had you done? Did you clean up the EGR system?

Re: 90 Camry- Failed emissions three times in a row!

Naw, your CAT is the problem, you are most correct. I went local to get it, it cost about $200. The difference it almost 100% effective in controlling pollution. Not just 50% of your hydrocarbons and NO2 are burnt, but 99.9% of the NO2 and like 95% of your hydrocarbons. You'll see...

Numerous manufacturers makes third party applications. Just call the part store.

Anyone have the Walker #15026 Catalytic Convert? That's what Autozone had in stock. What are some of the modifications that may have to be done? Thanks

Don't buy a universal. You need a direct fit here, because it bolt directly to the exhaust manifold. Call around to better parts stores.
