Default One bad catalytic converter......what are the options?
I'm not crazy about dropping another $550-600 for one of these. Any ideas out there?

Thanks,
Robert

I resemble that remark... (And we haven't even started talking cat stink, either!)

Default Let me know if you want to let one go....
...I just dropped big $$ on a new clutch and a leaking crank seal, only to find I also need a bunch of other work and a new cat. He quoted me $550 for an aftermarket one, I'm just strapped at this point.

Let me know what you can sell me one for.

Thanks,
Robert

Default Check with Scott Mockry....
He had a used stock S6 exhaust system awhile back (mine). 85K miles on it, worked fine.
