My catalytic converter on my Dodge Ram is coming apart and raddling around. If it continues I'm told, it could screw up the muffler and clog the pipes. The truck has 108,000, so it is out of warrenty.
So the questions are: a. Do I be a good friend of the Earth and spend +/-$500 to have it replaced? b. Replace it myself, can't be that hard right? c. Do I replace it with a stright pipe for $20, screw Mother Nature and pocket the change? Is there other options? Whata think? Paul |

QUOTE(Lawrence @ Mar 29 2004, 10:40 AM) C. Then drive it until it falls apart. For a Dodge, that should be a good long time. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) if your state has a "visual" inspection (like most of TX) you can take the cat-converter and jam a straight pipe THROUGH IT... it will still pass VISUAL inspection... you are screwed if they switch to a full(hooked up to a dyno-looking machine) inspection, you are screwed... but if you *want* to do it "right" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) it's not hard to replace. |
