What are the pros and cons of using a universal versus a converter for my specific application? My vehicle is a California car and I understand the converters are different from those used in the other states. Any leads on a good source for a catalytic converter.
Ask any MIdas or brake shop for a free inspection of the converter, my 96 windstar 3.8l with 160,000 is fine, but needed new o2 sensors.Have fun changing the thing on your own.
