Help with ripped open catalytic converter
My 1997 S320 was forced off road by a guy running from police. I ran over a chunk of concrete that bent my driveshaft and ripped the bottom out of the right side cat. Of course the Ox sensor & wiring was destroyed also. Occured 350 miles from home. I have a new driveshaft on the way. Being shipped to NAPA garage near Freeport, Tx. The cat has been temporarily replaced with pipe. Really can't afford a whole new cat system at $600+. So can I get some help with a new cat w/ Ox port that can be welded in where the pipe was inserted? Sorry to be so wordy in my first post. Any help greatly appreciated. Court Delorme
