I lowered my car on coils and ran over a large speed bump. SES light came on and I brought it to the dealer. They said my driver side cat has to be replaced do to a non re-weldable scrape. Cost was $950 plus $175 Labor. Can I now replace with berks high flow cat? If not, is there a legal less expensive option? I live in California.

Thanks in advance.

 

get some high flow cats dont go to the stealership unless its for warranty

 

My issue is that HFC is not legal in cali But I have the work order from the dealer saying it needs to be replaced. damn the oem on is so expensive.

Buy stock replacement off the forum... What year is your car?

 

Cali can suck it. Anything that is fun is illegal in Cali.
HFCs will not throw a cell when u get your smog check, but TPs will.
There are several people on here that have passed CA smog with HFCs.
And HFCs will really wake up the ride.

 

I have a 05 coupe, engine is stock. Is there a less expensive route other than buying new from dealer?

 

I have a set of stock cats lying around.. PM me
