Stolen catalytic converters

Enjoy paying $8000. I live in TX. No regrets.

Insurance would pay it, and it’s not even a concern of mine as they’ve not been stolen.

My only point is aftermarket = garbage.

Completely unecessary. Regardless, one should avoid that third world state like the plague.

What's third world about my state? Oh you mean being able to get stuff done? Odd comment.

I've run universal cat's for years without problems. But, I am in dry hot Arizona. Actually the only cat that ever failed on me was on an 86 4Runner. And that took many years and miles.

I would run OEM if insurance was paying for sure. Total agreement. If I had to pay the $$$$$$, I would not.

I was just wondering if there was an issue going through emissions in different states or something.

I also have to wonder what the laws are in the states with high theft. I have a few cats from projects that I can't take in for cash. My son in law has a towing company that ends up crushing impounded vehicles and he has to have a dumpster full of cats before anyone will pay.

Hey I know this is old but I too live in AZ how are those cats holding up. i have to replace mine with 340k miles and dont want to spend $$$on oem. Thanks man

I just responded to your message but, I'll also add to this thread. I ran two universal cats on two trucks for many years. My wife and I didn't live in metro Tucson but since we both worked there, we both had to go through annual emission testing. We never had anything said about having universal cats and they always passed.
