Has anyone had any luck trying to find a replacement converter legal in the state of California. All the online parts houses have plenty of cats but none for sale in Ca.

Last I heard Magnaflow had some depending on your chassis/engine/model. You might check their website.

Lots of muffler shops sell and install ones that meet CARB/OBDII specs as well. Lots more expensive than the ones you can simply buy online if you don't live here, though.

DEC has California legal cat.

Is the OE reman unit from dealer too HIGH? should be about $300-400

Ask guys parting cars too, they may cut you a deal for testing purposes...

Do not expect them to sell for cheap, scrap is pretty high for these cats and they usually fetch decent money.

Funny issue about cats, may not be legal for CA but they all seem to be sent from CA weird......
