Benchmark catalytic converter
 
I am new to the forum.
I believe I need a catalytic converter. I was looking online and located one. Have anyone try benchmark converters. They are going for a approx. $375 with shipping. If anyone can give me information before I order it, that would be great.

If you feel like wasting $375, go for it. It will never stand up to the exhaust temperature that the RENESIS produces.

Never heard of Benchmark cats.....guess that's just as well.
My turn, though :naughty:
I have seen quite a few Magnaflow converters advertised. How do they fare as a replacement if/when mine needs to be done?

Get Mangaflow, it's almost available everywhere and has an ok warranty.

Warranty is usually only good for defects in workmanship.
The fine print usually doesn't cover cats damaged by misfires, which is what usually causes the failure.

If you don't have a sniff test in your state just get a delet pipe.

What's on your car/ where do you live?

I have an OEM one that I am more than willing to trade for something else.

I also have an OEM Cat that I can sell. Has 57k on it. Just upgraded to the BHR. Let me know if interested..
