Ya, FINALLY took my car to an exhaust shop to get this rattle I've had for...2 YEARS...checked out. So, it turns out a piece of the honeycomb in the cat busted loose and was the culprit of said ANNOYING rattle...SO, new cat time. After all said and done, I paid about $375. How much did everyone else pay for a new cat installed? Also, the car seems a bit peppier, but also a bit raspier, which will prolly go away a little once it's burned in.

you got a new pussy?
oh, it must be a golden pussy cause $375 is WAY overpriced, sorry.
yes, your stock cat was probably making alot of backpressure.
you coulda bought a catco cat (which is HIGH-FLOW) for $60(shipped-brand-new) from Summit.
install should only be like a max of $35!
total: max of $100!
wait, you are in cali, you all have HIGH restrictions so you might not be able to have such a high-flow cat. you might be limited to regular cats which are probably cheaper.2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC!

dmw319, what brand did you spend $300 on?
$300 for a catalytic convertor is outrageous

does anyone know what kinda aftermarket cat i can get in California? if any? iv been through this on a couple other posts, the magnaflow (car-sound) cat is OBDII compliant, but its not 3 stage and is therefore not legal in CA..any ideas/suggestions?Comment

I forgot to mention about $70 of the $375 was a diagnostic to see what the rattle was and check out everything exhaust related..02's etc. Also, It's a top of the line stock replacement not high-flow. Like there is much of a difference anyway...1..2 hp? lol... And gotta remember, I live in the bay area of California, things are more expensive out here. Average mechanic charges like $75-100 an hour labor.Comment

Also, I've read many times where those cheap, hi-flo cats throw codes, and I really wouldn't want to deal with that anyway.Comment

its more like 3hp son
some of em arent cheap like dmw319 got a METAL.
a good brand is carsound(magnaflow)
and fixing the SES is easy, if you have to deal with it2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls!Comment

You are FOS. And who the **** you think you are calling me "son"? I'm a grown man, 23 years old, and prolly a lot bigger than you. Saying the max a mechanic would charge to take off the old cat and put on a new one is $35...no way in hell I'd get a deal like that anywhere out here and have a hard time believing any mechanic in the country charges that cheaply. Also, like a previous poster said, hi-flo cats are a no-no in Cali...Originally posted by slow6:
