    Universal Catalytic Converter experiences

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I got a CEL for a bank 2 catalytic converter performing below threshold level. After looking online for a while i found oem cats for $700 (definitely not an option), a 350-375 "like oem" and the universal ones for 60 bucks. Obviously the universal option sounds best even considering the welding that has to be done. My question is - do they work? I've heard both good and bad and wanted to get a few more opinions. This is a link to the 375$ one that is a direct bolt on. Also why is there a 130 dollar difference between 2 of them from the same company. What should i do?

    From what i have heard universal ones are ok but you have to spots for sensors welded in and flanges too. You should find out how much you would get charged for that first.
