Hi guys , could you recommend me a catalytic converter from your personal experience?
There are non expensive brands sold by Napa, Autozone, O'Railly (around $350).
No need of CARB catalytic converter.

 

I just put a “Bosal” brand one in my 08’

i think it was 175$ from rock auto.

Fitment wasn’t 100% perfect - It’s super close to the swaybar at full droop. But its fine once it’s on the ground.

 

hey NEGD3,

are you happy with your bosal cat? did you do it to fix a p0420 code? if so, did the code go away?

thanks!
kyle

 

I had no codes. My cat was just very rusty and had an exhaust leak so I replaced it, im happy with it

 

ah okay, thanks for the info!

 

I bought MagnaFlow California Catalytic Converter 5461767 for $440.
Installation notes
New replacement bolts (cat to muffler) 3x17mm, tread M10-1.25 class 8.8(grade 5) came with cat, but no bolts. Found in AutoZone 8.8 in O’Reilly 10.9. Make sure the old gasket from the top pipe (springs) is removed. Labor time 2hs. Deleted the code with a scan tool.
