took my newly purchased 87 fj60 to midas today to have them give me a price on removing the gay ass tail pipes PO put on. he got it on the rack and within a minute had me come out to have a look see. he says "well we can put a new muffler and pipes on it, but your catylatic (sp?) is shot". well my rig has been de-smogged (previous thread: to smog or not to smog) another PO job. the guy at midas then tells me he can't replace the CC without all of the proper smog stuff cuz it will burn up within weeks. i've been leaning towards putting the smog stuff back on, and this may seal the deal, but i have a couple questions:
is this guy at midas full of s***? will the CC burn up? can i say F**k it and just go ahead with the new muffler and pipe with the CC in its current condition?
thanks for the input.
