Cats

[Todd Young]

Well, I can recommend where NOT to go.
Discount Converters (www.discountconverters.com)

I bought one from them about 2 years ago, and it already broke apart. They want
me to pay them $300 for a new one and then ship the old one back to them and THEN
they will decide if they will honor their warranty. Yeah, right, like I'm sucker
enough to fall for that.

I'll just buy a replacement universal cat and have it welded into the pipe in
place of the old one.

One thing I'll credit them for, their unit has the cat place back farther in the
pipe so I can have a universal cat welded in without much issue. Unlike the OEM
unit where it is farther up the pipe and an odd shape.

I would recommend getting a universal unit that is small, but larg enough to
handle the exhaust flow from half of the V6, and have a local exhaust shop weld
it in. They may have to "move" it back a little to make it fit, just a matter of
welding in some pipe where needed.

I also notice that your vehicle is only 4 years old, are you sure the warranty
doesn't cover replacement?
