    Holy sh*t. They saw you coming. I bought a 3rd party converter not all that recent, for a Caravan, but only shelled out $180.


    Zero, 2014 ES Plus 5MT, written off but not forgotten.
    Zero II, 2014 SE, 5MT, climate She's HOME now!
    Shelby AKA "Cute", 2017 ES 5MT, A/C.

    Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
    We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!

    That was the online part price, not shop price. I didnt pay it, I sold that piece of sh#t and got a Mirage instead. Subaru reliability is overrated in my opinion and their parts are as expensive as Mitsubishi!

    I've just installed a used one from my never ending supply of crashed cars. Car crashing season is here! If I were poor/cheap I'd try relocating the rear 02 sensor with a spark plug defouler before replacing a cat.

    In the US, you're not allowed to buy cats from a junkyard if I'm remembering that right. Stupid emissions rules.
