The catalysts on my '99 e320 wagon are rattling and my local independant wants $2200 to change them out.
As that is not going to happen anytime soon due to finances has anybody ever removed the catalysts and replaced them for a short time with plain pipes? Is this possible and is it likely to damage anything else? I haven't been underneath to check it out yet.
It will only be for a few months and I don't want to risk any of the catalyst coming loose/out and into the rest of the system.
Any ideas why would the quote be so high as the dealer only wants $575 for each one which leaves $1000 for fitting!!
Thanks for any help.
