Well I took my new 97 ecsb sierra to the shop today to get my exhaust leak fixed. It's leaking right after the last catalytic converter. It also has true duals by the way. But anyways I have a small rant! Guys if your truck has a problem please FIX it up don't F*%$ it up like my previous owner did!! If you have an exhaust leak, especially around a catalytic converter, pay $50 to get it welded from a shop instead of $5 for exhaust putty. Because chances are it wont work and you'll be buying a new catalytic converter on down the road because they won't be able to weld it because of the putty!!
So anyways I need to get a new catalytic converter. I would really prefer not to and just cut it out.. Is there a way I can do this without throwing a code? It's just the back conveter?
OR
What's a cheap High flow converter I can buy? and what size?
Is there any gains to getting rid of the converter vs a high flow one? They told me $125-$175 to get it fixed depending on what they had to do to it which sounded reasonable to me but I wanted to get my own converter if I have to.
Thanks guys!
