Replacing Catalytic

[tblanton2000]

Does anyone know about replacing the front pipe CAT? I had the dealer look at my ES and they said it needed the front pipe CAT. The estimate was $1002.00!!! I have already replaced the Center CAT does the ES really have 2 catalytic converters? Any help would be appreciated. -Todd

The ES is the same car as a camry I'm sure you can get it done anywhere else for cheaper although the cats are not cheap as I recall but save some money and get it done elsewhere... also get a second opinion on your cat needing to be changed.. I'm not an expert, infact i'm far from it but unless you've been running an unusually rich fuel mixture the cat shouldn't be damaged?
