CAT Converter sticker shock..!!!!!
 

For 1987 2.0 4cyl

:eek: they saw u yota guys comin. just called a local shop and $ 475 for the front cat/manifold. they said most the time the rear isn't needed. so, for 475 i could go out and buy another camry to look at in driveway:rolleyes:.. i'm thinking to fix my 77 ford ltd wagon and use that at 13mpg, just drive half as far:p

Is the car in California? If not buy a converter online below:

Of course California, where we get scr..ed comin and goin. :mad:

cat needs to be C.A.R.B. approved

That's the rub in price being CARB approved.

I talked to the smog test guy and he heard of someone somehow taking the Cat apart from manifold and ? maybe attaching another Cat or something like that. guess it would still have to be a carb approved one though but u'd save on the manifold if it could be done
:confused:

Might be BS but found this;

link to video showing how to rebuild a Cat to c.a.r.b. I have dial-up so can't watch now...later from california full of in our pocket politicians

Did the car fail an emissions test or have a CAT trouble code?

The lower CAT portion of the manifold is available. The issue is finding a CARB approved part.

I dont know if it failed, but after setting for 8 years i'd think not passing smog is why it wasn't driven. Just tring to figure worst case expence to make it whole again.
