Default Replacing cat

The catalyst inside of my converter is busted loose so I need to replace it. My buddy said he tried to have it replaced under the recall before I bought it from him but they wouldnt since it was welded on, it was broken off once during a 4-wheel outting. So how much would a factory replacement converter cost? Or did anyone ever figure out if the $40 EBay ones listed a while back were legal to use a replacement? The rattling is just really annoying and i'm sure its not good for the mpgs or anything.

Inspect your muffler also,somrtimes what comes loose in the cat ends up in the muffler and can cause flow issues.

I went with the Magnaflow from Summit. I love it. Its $114 for a 96XJ . And a Dynomax cat back system for $140 also love it.

x2. Did the Magnaflow cat & Dynomax cat back myself. Quality is good, flows & sounds better than stock without being too loud, and it won't break the bank.
