Catalytic Converters
So after a trip to muffler man where they quoted me $1075 and said they wouldn't cut the old ones out and weld new ones in? Have those that replaced just the cats did you take the y-pipe off the truck and bring it somewhere or did they do it for you? Also are prices for used cats still pretty high?

I guess I don't know your state's regulations, but that sounds odd and the price sounds high unless it was in stainless. I'd look around for another muffler shop. Preferrably one on the south side of town. Be sure they use aluminized pipe for longevity, don't accept anything less. I've had two done not that long ago, one on a jeep Grand Cherokee, another on a cadillac. Hope it helps.

Roll of the floor and laugh out freaking loud that is funny.
Did you explain to the guy that our trucks has a compression ratio of 9:35-1? No wheres near high performance.
Are yours rattling?
You can buy the whole y-pipe with cats brand new for ~$600 and install it yourself.
Or you can go see Mike at Petey's Pitstop on Chicago Drive in Grandville, next to Grandville Tractor and behind Mel's Party Store.
Tell him I sent you. (Phil)
Tell him you just want universal cats welded in and see what price he quotes you.

Yeah the passenger side is toast, I'll try to get over there this week and get a price from him.
I could tell the service guy was trying to sell me that overpriced y-pipe and I'm sure some people would fall for it for their "high performance" engine but I was already in shock over their price for the pipe

I want to "confirm" 100% that mine are not working before I "replace" them.

Glad you were not that sucker.
