Re: cat convertor gone bad
How do you know it's gone bad?
Is it staying out too late at night?
Is it swearing, smoking cigarettes, and hanging out with the wrong crowd?
Is it drinking and doing drugs?
LOL
Will an "auto recycler" even sell a used cat?
A low mileage OE cat would probably be my first cheap choice.
But wait and see when/if the P0420 code comes back.
