So the check engine light comes on and off to the dealer we go. Cat on the drivers side has gone bad. 996-113-031-06, any of you guys that have done exhaust mods have one of these siting around and want to sell it let me know.

Just missed the warranty period, eh? ;( If you haven't, you should verify in service date, Federal Emissions warranty covers cats 8 years from in service...

Yeah tried to pull that one on them but because it's a second hand cat I got from a fellow rennlister they won't cover it. I did try.

So it's either find another one or start looking at a sports exhaust since a full exhaust kit is cheaper than the single CAT from the dealer $2400.....

I don't get it....how do they know it's a second hand cat?

Sean, when my cats went bad I replaced with AWE units. Much less than new factory ones and work fine. No CEL's and a bit louder, look nicer too.

I got mine replaced recently, $2500 under warranty, it is ridiculously expensive, I assume they figured they always dies under warranty so might as well make money out of it.

put a cat-bypass

Currently looking at a sports exhaust system, may as well put my money somewhere good.

Same thing happened to me and I put the fabspeed one on. Sounds a little better, feels like it added some hp, and hopefully lasts! It did clear the CEL..

You sure are rough on your poor cats...

Have you tried Oklahoma Foreign?

mavthenav

It's all the time I'm chasing your car Mike.....

jyoteen

this is only your first set? I am currently on my FIFTH set. I think all the ones go bad on the driver's side.

mavthenav

yeah but the first one was because of a blown engine, coolant flushed through the cat, washed out all the good stuff....

Replaced under warranty a few months before expiration of federal emission coverage.

They replace my engine and the cat was bad after the cooliant flushed through the CAT, I replaced it, and it's the same one gone bad again.

Sean, I have a set of cats that I had to buy for mine to pass CA smog. I paid $173 plus shipping for them last year. I would be willing to sell them for $250 plus shipping.
