There is a rateling noice under the car when i give it a little gas. I think its the catilac converter but my car only has 60,000 miles. could it go bad this quick? i got a quote for $400 per converter is this a reasonable deal for a converter. that includes work also.

I don't know what noise you got but I got a creaking noise when I gave my SL500 a little gas a while back. It turned out the metal shield around the exhaust pipe was bending. I bent it back. You might want to physically check out for the obvious.

Where was it at? towards the front of the the car or the back. I will check it out, thanks.

It was right about underneath of the driver seat but it could be anywhere in yours so check them all. When I push the gas, the contact point would vibrate causing the noise. I thought it was the end of the world because it start happening after a huge bump on the road.

Hope nothing too serious with yours. Good luck

Mine was doing the same and it turned out to be a missing engine mount bolt.

It turned out that it was the catylac converter. total cost $400, is this a good deal?

call me crazy but I thought they were under factory warranty til 80k miles?

SLCL

8 years or 80K miles (it could be 8 years or 96K miles in some models). More likely that Bo car is older than 8 years old as he never stated it.

the secondary cats they can be deleted for well under 2 bills.
Universal cats both sides would be under $300 both sides.
Depends where you live higher price in California since they need to be CARB approved.
