For years I have known about catalytic converter theft and when living in Seattle was somewhat concerned it might happen to me. But I never took the time to check on what a replacement Cat unit for my vehicle would cost. So I looked it up yesterday. The cost of a catalytic converter for my car is not in the thousands like I keep seeing mentioned in various postings on the internet tales of woe.I can get a new one with the associated tube and flange for $70 to $150. One less stressor!
