Help! Cat is clogged

[V6MaroFL]

Hello Folks!

So my trusty (and slightly beaten up after 11 good years and 130K miles) Camaro has got a clogged Cat. I mean badly clogged, the car has very little power.

I have a Borla exhaust that I've had on it since I bought it (see that here http://www.lmperformance.com/550/1.html )

Anyway, I had a mechanic quote me over $1,000 today to replace the cat, and the O2 sensors. He says in order to fit the Cat to the Borla to the Cat, he needs to order the Cat with a Ypipe assembly that is $575!

That along with like $250 worth of O2 sensors plus $175 labor is going to be $1K.

What can I do to save money on this? Should I find somebody else? Is this my only option to stick with the Borla? I got my use out of the borla, if I could drop that and find a OEM assembly for cheaper I would.

Help! I cannot afford this repair bill at the moment and I need my Car back..

Re: Help! Cat is clogged

you can a magnaflow universal high flow cat from advanced for $72 bucks. if you have a buddy with a welder ask him to put it on for you (or a muffler shop caould put it on quick and not for much extra cash), just cut out the old one and weld the new one in place. you will want to measure what size pipes you dealing with so you dont end up like how my cat was poorly installed.

AHHHHHHHHH RAPE!!! buy a universal cat from summit racing (accoring to your pipe size) and take it to an exhaust shop you'll have 100$ or less in the whole thing..
