k24a4 catalytic converter

[implayaz9]

I broke my catalytic converter for being little too low.. it totally cracked according to my mechanic.. now question is

1. where could I find a use oem one?
2. if I cant find a used oem one, which one should I get and will it pass smog in cali?

Hope this is the right place to put this topic

Magnaflow also makes a bolt on replacement that may be legit in Cali that is a lot less expensive than OEM.  The site that David linked is also a good place to find parts.

I checked car-part but what catagory does the cat come under?

[slipkord]

I didn't see it either so I clicked on http://www.car-part.com/Under/undfrnt.htm# and hover over cat and said most dont sell used ones.

[implayaz9]

my mechanic told me no one will sell me a used one as its kinda illegal too in cali.. I am so lost. as to what to do if I dont find an oem one

[Mike]

I'm pretty sure its illegal in most states to sell them.

Why not just get one from Autozone? I believe their around $90 bucks.

Have to be careful some of the Cats they sell are not direct bolt in, and required welding to fit. Generally on 4 cyl cars the Cat is part of the front exhaust pipe.

When we did Keith's exhaust, we used a Magnaflow cat and it was a direct bolt on replacement.  I'll try to find the part number when I have time.

yea I heard very few cats are legal in cali.. I was on magnaflow website and it didnt show me anything for 7gen 2.4l..

What about getting your cat fixed?

[Mike]

How did you learn of the damage?
