An OE cat is not a bad investment if you plan on keeping your van. The cheap aftermarket cats tend to die after about 2 years, whereas an OE cat will last much longer (50,000 miles +), and it works a lot better. Cheers, Jeff www.autostadtwest.com

Beginning in 2009 aftermarket CAT sales in California will be more restrictive due to tighter guidelines. If you live in California, you may want to buy a replacement CAT before the end of 2008 if you think you'll be needing one at some point in the future. If vendors have to sell CATS with guaranteed 5 year life and BAR certifications they will no doubt be more expensive. http://www.bar.ca.gov/80_BARResources/ftp/pdfdocs/ARSC-summer08.pdf |
