If you can't get the cat covered under warranty, you should try an aftermarket cat. Other forum members have used Random Technology with success.

by federal law (USA) the coverage is 8 yrs *or* 80,000. so the warranty
period for your cats has expired.

So ur saying for me to cut the pipe and just attach that replacement ??
I ve looked for the part and the best price i can find is $395.00 just for the driver side. But thats the whole pipe ...from the header to the flow tubes!
I can only imagine how much the repair is going to be considering that the screws look rusted shut!! So without a torch and some heat they aint coming out.....grrrr
