I have an 03 Vibe AWD that needs a new cat. I was wondering if This replacement would work? I have friends that could weld it in. Would I need any other parts i.e. gaskets, clamps, etc.?

You'd need to cut the flange off the old Cat and weld it to the new one. Other than that. Nope. Though may want to replace the donut/gasket on the flange.Pat

oh its a blast to do, my lower a-arm to spindle bolts are seezed into the bushings, chances are from road salt. I got one axle shaft to pop out and they really come out easy. If your bolts come out its not too bad of a job.I wanted to pick your brain to see if you had this trouble but i guess not yet since you didnt start. I am working on a how to write up for it for others that have to do this repair.

When mine went out last year, I paid $760 to replace it. Good luck!
