I one cat is dented and the shop wanted 100+tax for the part plus the labor. is this overpriced for just 1 stock cat?

00mustangv6 · November 6th, 2009, 02:03 PM

If anyone has one, I would be interested

Shit! I took all 4 of mine to the recycler not too long ago for scrap cash. I knew I should have kept them.

He's trying to get money out of you lol

unless the thing is dented all the way in i wouldnt really worry about it... unless its cracked or leaking

Are you sure the Cat is dented, and not the heat shield that surrounds it?
