blaze Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I looking at replacing my 98 OBW 2.5 standard 5 spd exhaust system. The biggest cost is the catalytic converters (fwd 44111AC233 & aft 44111AC172) $2500.00 My dealer parts told me I could use a 2000 or newer OBW one piece catalytic converters? Instead of the older 2 piece I have? The cost is way cheaper 879.00 bucks for the 44139AE12A (auto)? Only I would have to move the mounting brackets (weld) and use different gaskets that it comes with? It has the same O2 ports? I haven't seen it yet, I'm just going by what he told me over the phone. My question is has anybody else done this ? Will it work ? And which one piece did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 napa FTW 145 bucks on the last OBW cat I replaced. Direct fit replacement only thing I noticed that was different was the replacement had 2 O2 sensor holes but it comes with caps for the holes so u can block off the back hole on the cat. dont pay 2.5k for a cat when napa offers the same cat for a 1/20 of the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
