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 |

Thanks everyone for your input. I called around to a few muffler shops and if I go with a univeral cat unit it will be in the $200 range. I really didn't want to do it myself. I'll do anything to my 'teener but when it is the truck, I'll pay others to get dirty.
And to answer the question on the inspection issue, Florida doesn't have emission tests. Thanks again Paul |
