Just got told by my dealer that the annoying rattle from my exhaust was due to the Catalytic converter needing replacement (44,000km - 26,000Ml).

Cost to replace is Australian$3400 plus fitting!!!! (USD2,550).

I have been quoted less than $500 to fit a universal non-genuine converter.

Has anyone had any problems with the non genuine converters?

I can go for the bigger hi-flow converter with 3.5 inch fittings. Any suggestions on these also?

 

do you still need catalytic converter in australia?

that price is too high.

 

Converter still required by law, but the fine of $2,500 seems reasonable compared to the genuine product.
