Cat Convertor Problems '03 GT

Post by posthorn »

Hi All--

Has anyone had a problem like this? In June I found out I needed a new cat convertor. The mechanic could not get a convertor with pipe flanges that fit -- the manufacturer finally had to custom make the pipe. Now it turns out the convertor has a crack in it. I don't know if that had to do with the fact that it was custom.

Thx for any input-

Have a muffler shop weld it back together.
