Re: cat replacement

You can probably get an aftermarket converter at an independent muffler shop for around $150-$200. That said, I wouldn't worry about it. Most converters fail due to some other engine malfunction that sends an improper fuel mixture through the exhaust system. It's usually an excessively rich mixture that causes converter failure. Keep your engine running properly and a converter failure is unlikely. That means if a check engine light comes on or a cylinder is missfiring, deal with it quickly. Don't just continue to drive the car because you don't notice any obvious change in drivability.
