need new cat

So i’ve got the rattle of death in my cat (front left) i’m out of warranty period and there’s no way i’m paying 1,100 from the dealer. Any suggestions?

Suffer! You will 'get' to replace it before taking a smog test. Hopefully you have some time.

A knowledgeable shop will cut it open, remove the matrix, install a replacement and re-weld it.
