Under warranty? A friend of mine had his GT3 converters replaced by the dealer for free... but I don't know all the details.

I have 117,000 miles on the C4S... I think warranty only covers up to 80k.

Your cats are covered for 8 years or 80,000 miles via the federal emissions warranty. It's in your owners manual.

Definitely aftermarket...Fabspeed xpipe 200 cel cat is only $1500. Sounds great too. No drone.

Fabspeed or FVD. FVD appears to be better made IMHO.

I had mine replaced under warranty at 74K miles. Just made it in under the wire. If I have to do it on my own dime, I think I'll go with aftermarket cats. I would probably lean towards the Fabspeed xpipe.

I was looking at the fabspeed... need to check them out further. Doesn't make the car too loud?

Hmmm, "FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY!" CEL may come on but car will run great." - that's not good.

Only when you're pushing the car does it sound louder. Around town it doesn't change much at all. No check engine light here.

I have well over 110k miles... don't think that's going to work.
