Cat replacment needed - Where to get?

[Badspell68]

Can anyone recommend a discount suppler where I can get a replacement exhaust component? The pipe with the small CAT, just off the manifold, needs to be replaced and the prices I coming across are outrageous.

I'm guessing you're looking at direct fit. Cheapest direct fit rockauto has is just under $190 for a Magnaflow. If you have a friend with a welder or a cheap shop you could get it done for less buying a universal and having it welded in.

When I had new cats put on Shamrock, the dealer got them locally, parts were $240 for (2) cats, so they paid $120 each somewhere... I know that doesn't tell you anything useful at all now that I've typed it out...

Anyone have a diagram so that I can indicate that cat that I am referring to?

What is that Direct-fit Magnaflow, is it a whole replacement or a segment you weld in before the cat and what category would I look under to find it?

Ford > Explorer > Year > Exhaust > Cat

...I believe

The one I was referring to was for a 91-94 OHV. Not sure if pricing will be the same for you or not.

If I'm not mistaken the forum here also gets a discount at RockAuto. There is a thread somewhere about that...

I have used them in the past and I am satisfied with my dealings with them...
