$1000!!!!
Are they out of their minds?!
First of all, all ford cats have an 8 year/80,000 mile warranty, so if it needs to be replaced, theyll do it for free as long as your still within that warranty. If you are out of warranty, you could buy a high flow cat for like $150 and have a muffler place weld it for you for another $100. I swear...they should just call them stealerships instead of dealerships. Try autozone first and get the codes pulled. If they dont have an OBD-II manual on hand after they pull the codes, ill be more than happy to tell you what they pertain to.
