looking catalytic converter

just as the title say guys, im looking a catalytic converter for my 99 maxima SE california spec.Let me know if anyone have this part. i would rather un-used items so that i am pretty sure that im not in for any problems soon or later.recommending sites with the parts would be appreciated.

i checked advance, but nowhere near me has it and they said that they might be discontinued(wtf)......pm me of post in here.

thanx

Do NOT get Random Technology's High Flow Cat! I took mine down yesterday because it sounded like it was rattling and the whole honeycomb piece became unwelded from the shell and was bouncing around. This has also happened to another .org members RT cat too.

is cattman a person on the org.does he sell catalytic converters only.....that is all i need at the moment.as i am getting codes and i thinks its from the fact that the cat went bad(deteriorated/eaten out).

FYI, many nissan cats are the same size. I had a carsound cat that blew out in less than a year so I slapped in a 91 sentra cat.

No mine is bolted on...the honeycomb piece inside the cat broke off and was rattling around. Highflow cats are junk and a waste of money IMO.

Well, sorry I am not any help to you. I checked all of my converter companies (carsound/magnaflow, goerlich, catco). None of them make a direct-fit CARB legal converter for it.

It very well might be a dealer only item unless you decide to go with a universal CARB legal cat.
