ROStevens Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 So I need to replace my catalytic converter on my 01 LGT and I priced it out and it will be really pricey since its not meant for universal. How much would a custom exhaust run me instead of replacing the cat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichySteele Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 just have the old catalytic converter cut off and have a new one welded on. should cost you no more than $150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 not true an EPA approved OBDII compliant catalytic converter should be closer to $300-500. A muffler shop should be able to weld it in for less than $100 If the area you are in does not have an actual idle or rolling emissions test, then you can get away with a $60-100 cat.

.blackgt. Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I am in the exact same situation as the OP with my other car (2001 LGT). I have been told by many many trusted sources saying the aftermarket cats just don't work. A friend of mine who is a manager at Midas says the subarus always come back. They then have to follow what the cat manufacturer suggest (fuel system cleaner etc...) and its always the same story. I was quoted $933.40 for the cat pipe (includes 2 cats). That's simply too much. I saw one on rockauto.com for $240.00, but I just don't see myself going against what everyone has told me. Since they have first hand experience, I can only pass along the information to you. I am now in search of a resistor modification to electronically trick the sensor and keep the current cats in. Any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
