I am very confused as to just where and how many catalytic converters my 2000 explorer (4L engine vin x). Mechanic said there were two and glowing white and needed replacing.
Working from the muffler to the engine, there are two boxes inline that look like cats but then after the 'Y', there's one on each side leading to the engine that look like they could be cats,too? Does that make one, two, three or four? lol
I have also gotten really lost reading the various threads here about replacing them and the various retailers give so many options and prices I can't figure it out.
So...could someone please tell me which of these things I described are my catalytic converters? Also, I really would appreciate a link to a cheap cat that anyone might recommend. Passing emissions test is not an issue at the moment, I just want it to run...but putting as little money into it as I can.
Thanks,
