WTB: Stock midpipe with Cat

Anyone have a stock midpipe with cat that you're looking to get rid of? I'm suspecting that I have a clogged cat and looking for the least expensive option to fix it.

Reply here or PM me please, will pick up in the GTA area.

Thanks,

Jay

I have 110000km so I'm not sure......I really want to try to avoid the dealership as I have a fear of them wanting to do a whole bunch of work that will cost me $$ before they do warranty work

The cat is apart of your emissions systems, and you should still be covered based on your other post. The cost of the diag shouldn't be that much...

Ok, drove home tonight on my normal 45 min drive, got out and looked under the car and the O2 bung and surrounding area on the Cat was GLOWING red.

I rushed in the house to grab the camera but the fancy DSLR didn't want to take a picture in the "dark" so this is the best I could do.

Is it normal for it to glow like that? (can't see the glowing in the pic but you can see the area I'm talking about)

I think the cat is pooched.

What is the Emission warranty and is there a link to the info?

80k miles on the cat, based on your other post youre sitting at 69k, so the dealership should replace it for free
