For a while now I've been enjoying an annoying rattle from my catalytic converter every time I drive. Recently, the rattling has gotten more pronounced and the Check Engine light is coming on periodically. Presumably the cat. has had it for good.
Does anyone know where I can get a bolt-on, plug n' play replacement besides a dealership and what kind of price range we're talking about here? I expect the dealer price will be $$$.
Is the down-tube from the manifold connection a standard diameter? Could I use a generic? Do they make generics with an O2 sensor hole?
Could this premature failure be related to the failed MAF sensor I had to replace last year? (Driving with the failed MAF produced emissions that destroyed the cat?)
Thanks... ...Sean.
