lowesguy, before buying a new catalytic converter based on an online diagnosis have a local indie (who knows MB automobiles) verify that you actually need one.

You get it on lift and hit it with your fist - preferably while cold and not hot. If it rattles inside, the insides are toast. If you hear nothing, it probably is still good.

Click on "Buy Parts" and then call Phil (he's back right?) and he can sell you whatever you want.
