super_es300 Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 I need to replace Catalytic converter on my es. I called up the dealer and they're asking $1300 just for the part. Is this a reasonable price? Are there any othere places where i can get replacement parts cheaper? :(
hammer008 Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 That is the price alright. I paid CAD$430 for mine...but if I had the money I would go with the original since it is quieter.
Toysrme Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 Common load of sh¡t from dealers. Ebay a 2 1/4", or 2 1/2" cat for $40-$50usd. Take it to an exhaust shop & have them weld it in for $50-150usd.
