My truck is throwing a code for the catalytic converter efficiency being too low so I need to replace it. I live in Commifornia so I need a CARB approved catalytic converter. I went online and I saw there's two options one from a company called Eastern Catalytic that had the crimped type of bends in the tubing for abo and the other option was the MagnaFlow which has nice smooth bends in the tubing but it was a little over a hundred dollars more figured I would get the name brand with the nicer tubing so I ordered one off of eBay was a little over $500 after taxes directly from the MagnaFlow tuner store and they canceled my order and refund my money and said that that was discontinued and I needed to get a new one was over $600 part number just had two new numbers added to it looked exactly the same I tried to ask the rep if he knew what the difference was he he said he couldn't tell me so I'm assuming it's the exact same thing just with a new part number and almost a 50% price gouge
