Catalytic Converter Question
Hey guys, I don't know cars well so hang with me. I have a 96 Neon that recently failed a smog test. After the diagnostic the mechanic said that I need a new catalytic converter. He said something about it being computerized and only the dealership has the cat--and that is would cost $515.00. I was skeptical, and talked to my friend about it (who does know cars very well). My friend said that I could get one at an auto-parts store for about $100.00, and installation would cost about $60. Would you guys say this is accurate? And what type of catalytic converter do I get for a 96 Dodge Neon?

A Magnaflow Cat Converter from Modern runs $65.
Install it yourself (very easy) and then have someone weld it on for about $20.

RE: Catalytic Converter Question
sucks before i got this car i threw away a complete new exhaust system off one , well for what it cost for a magnaflow it might be worth a shot, we dont have any sort of inspection or smog check around here so i never bother with stuff like that very often
