i would like one either used or any ideas for one being welded on? i need a new one but dont feel like spending the 1700 mercedes wants heh

This was a relief, from the title, I didn't know if you wanted to put in a Caterpillar diesel or were looking for a Calico kitten.

On the serious side, there are a number of various aftermarket catalytic converters that can be welded in place. I would not hesitate to weld one in place as long as it is done neatly.

Good luck,

Time valve cats for $495.straight bolt on.

If you have a 1 inlet and 2 outlets set up like the 300e i have one for you I just had to replace mine also but it is an high flow aftermarket one that has to be welded on

thanx a bunch guys for the help i think i will just go with timevalve simply because its prob the same price to get a high flow cat and then have it welded on instead im getting the whole system for that price but i really do appreciate the help
thanx
