Catelic converters

[razzi123]

I'm looking for some help i have a 2000 LS and my cat was gone on one side so what would be the best way to fix this, because the new one's are very expensive.

I took off the exaust completely so i'll be able to replace them.

Thanks

or a used one from a wrecker....

thanks for the reply

I found some of the web site on magna flow with O2 censors in the cat so i thought if i could replace one with an aftermarket... do you think it would work.

here see the site

and it's the 94100 with single sensor


Thanks

how many miles on the car? cats should still be under warranty if under 80K

catelics converters

A catelic is a catelic or is there anything special with the ford ones, ?

i don't think there is a major difference. if this is a cash job, not warranty, i'd say go with an aftermarket one as they are usually cheaper. if it's free, obviously the dealer will install a ford one. try to talk them into replacing both instead of just one.

Keep in mind it's illegal for a wrecking yard to sell you used converters. But some still will....

Good luck finding one. I had to have mine replaced a while ago and the only aftermarket one I could find cost more than the dealer! The guy even told me to get it the catalytic converter at the dealer. I asked Magnaflow about a high-flow cat. Their flow engineer told me most factory cats were high flow now and I wouldn't see any improvement.

BTW, Bill Jenkins has them for ~$370 for the V8 and ~$325 for the V6.

Yep...

The Ford one's are called "Catalytic Converters"

I know, I'm a bastard

Given the general spelling and grammer around here, I just thought this was some special Celtic catalytic converter.......
