The reason cheaper Cats. are made is because if you needed a Toyota Cat. OEM it would cost you $1400.00 So there are quite a few cheaper Cats. out there that are cheap and could get you by the test. Just stay away from the cheaper Cats. that are made in China. If your only paying $150.00 then you ARE getting one of these cheap China made pieces of crap.

Replying to: terceltom (May 10, 2009 3:24 pm) another reason your "cat" is not lasting long is how well your car is running. Do you keep it tuned up? A car that has it fuel/air mixture wrong will eat any "cat" alive in a short amount of time. The last thing is Obama wants us all to love each other so maybe you should write him for a "cat" bale out program.
