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?

If anyone has one, I would be interested

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?

don't change it... my car is fine with a dented cat... unless you are failing the emissions test just leave it... shops are always trying to rip kids off
