RE: Rattling Catalytic Converter... but shop does not suggest Magnaflow at all
Interesting. But the weld shop I go to never would ask me about a part or refuse one either. They charged me $10 to fix a broken pipe on a caprice one time. I have never spent more than $100 there and that was for them to install a header back system on a old mustang. I supplied the muffler and I got everything else (a pre catalyst 67 Mustang) for $100. They are good guys and do alot of business, if you are in South Louisiana send me a PM and I will refer you. I remember when rice burners where huge and I had a four-wheel-steer Prelude, I paid a shop $350 to put on a stupid muffler (Iwas 18 and thought-loud=power) anyway they just took a muffler off the shelf and drove my car around the corner. Well the next time I went to get something done I went to that shop around the corner. Best find ever.

IF it's just the heat shield rattling and the cat's in decent shape, here's my 5 minute, $1 solution:
Big hose clamp, wrap it around, cinch it up nice and tight, problem solved! No more rattling. Been there, done that before, it works.
My $0.02 worth.

I just can't beleive he said $900 for the OEM cat.
You can go out and buy a whole brand new exhaust system including headers for $900 that's insane.

I don't even understand why he'd care? It's an opportunity to charge someone 20 bucks for 10 minutes worth of welding.
That's like $160 an hour...

If you can't trust the magnaflow how can you trust a Universal Cat?
