Need a new Cat Converter!
 

Anyone know of any good aftermarket Cats for an 04 4.4? I'd rather not pay the local dealer $2400 for OEM. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank goodness you don't have a 3.0 - NO aftermarket solutions for it (trust me, I know!!)

Good Luck!!

you have over 80k on the clock ??

cats are covered for 8yrs and 80k miles no ?

What did that set you back? Also, did you notice a decrease is power when it started going bad?

Yeah, I'm at 83K :( The CPO warrenty doesn't cover it either...

GOOG aftermkt Catalytic Converters...you'll get pages
of places...some here pump the oem, but unless you
are keeping the car for another 50K+ miles, who the
hell cares. Aftermkt should do fine, imo...

Thanks! Yeah, there's definitely a lot out there but I just wanted to see if anyone here recommends a specific one...

Mine were $2200 - plural bc there are 2, even on the 3.0. My mechanic said they typically use a Magnaflow aftermarket, but with the 3.0 the cats are right off the manifolds so it is difficult to use an aftermarket solution. I think you could use the MFs with the 4.4's.

I have run Car Sound (magnaflow) ones on may different set-ups. You can typically find them in the 60 dollar range.

I have run as set of these on my Lightning for over 35K. Pass every year too :thumbup:...... Pick up some power, loose some weight, save a ton.

For your 3.o guys, You can cut the old converter flange off, bend a pipe and mount the converter a few inches down flow. You may have to extend wires on the 2 rear O2's.

I have not been able to find any aftermarket Cats made specifically for my 04 4.4.
