catalyic converter for the infiniti g35

I recently found out the exhaust smell i was having in my car was from the previous owner cutting out both catalyic converters and going str8 pipe. So im getting a code and a bad exhaust smell. I was searching the internet for a decent price. Can i get some help im just a newbie?

If you're going aftermarket, most peeps around here would suggest Fast Intentions, Berk next.

Tough situation....

Wrecking yards are not allowed to sell OEM cats that are of course used. Don't know where you're from but here in Ca. it's now illegal to sell HFC's, not sure about any other states. Your only choice is to buy new OEM cats, or check with your local muffler shop and see what they have available. If you're going to need OEM cats give Tony a call at 1-800-919-8130 he's from Riverside Infiniti and gives Driver members a great discount....Good Luck!

I stay in houston texas
I bought the car with the str8 pipe on it and the infiniti dealer i took it to yesterday told me they cant sell me a car that cannot pass inspection.
The oem price came up to about 1200 each converter if i have to go aftermarket ive seen the magnus go for 600 each on ebay. Got ne ideas?

If you want to put some aftermarket cats on I'd definitely recommend Fast Intentions.
I just bought some High Flow Cats for my G; $520 shipped to my door.

The HFC's won't turn it on; but I don't know if it'll turn off once it's already on...
Theoretically it should though. Call Tony at 818-882-2788 and ask. He's the man
