How To Replace Catalytic Converter Toyota Tacoma
Posted By admin On 04.02.20
As far as i know that is the law here. I know if you try and even look the part up an aftermaket parts website like Autozone or Napa it won't let you add it to the cart with a CA shipping address. Factory Toyota part only. Now if you found someone at home in their garage to weld one in for you and were able to order it for an older vehicle that the factory no longer offers a replacement for, it would fix your current problem, but you may have issues at your next smog check.
I'm in a similar position in that my 4runner barely passed last time, and after long periods of slow driving (off road for example) it throws the catalytic efficiency code. I haven't figured out a permanent solution for mine yet.If you do decide to sell, let me know, i need to find a new vehicle for my parents, and where its going i wouldn't even need to put a cat in. I still would of course, but it wouldn't be a million dollar repair. I'm in Pleasanton, CA. This whole thing is proving to be a huge hassle for me as I keep getting different stories about my options. I called the local muffler shop and they seemed to want no part of putting on anything but a cat bought from Toyota.
Something about emissions, blah blah. I was checking online and no one will send to California. I don't have the means to put it on myself so I'm kind of in a position here. I honestly cant afford to pay any more than $400-500 to get it fixed.
Anything more than that and it's going to be a while before I can cough up the cash.Also, do you guys know if it's going to be more of a hassle to replace since they sawed off the original converter?Thanks for all your help. Well my cousin just had his Honda cat replaced 3 months ago. What the local muffler shop said is that you cannot just replace it with any aftermarket type catalytic but a California approved catalytic. So they welded a new aftermarket Califonia approved catalytic for his Honda for $285 + tax.
This was down here though in SoCal but I don't believe it should differ to NorCal.Exactly, you can use an aftermarket, just has to be CARB legal. I have an aftermarket, CARB legal cat. It was $300 instead of $50.
