Eastern Catalytic Converter?

Has anyone purchased one of these? Any experience with them good or bad?

Here is the link- it is the first cat listed.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

No...sorry, but you may want to check out Warpspeed. I got their Magnaflow converter, excellent welds, and they give you $25 rebate when you send back your old one...they even pay the return shipping.

My understanding is that the stock converters have some valuable metals in them and you may be able to find a recycler to give you more than $25 for one.


I have one of those Magnaflow converters from Warpspeed they appear to be good quality although they are not nearly as heavy duty as the stock converter.

Its funny because I worked for an exhaust shop and we always cut off the cats and good pieces off the customers cars if they were getting replaced and sold them for mad money. It is like a scam and I almost feel bad that 90% of customers don't know this when they take their exhausts to a shop. I think some shops should give you like a discount or ask or sign a thing asking if they can have your cat. I just give it to them anyway if I have it done but that is because I really don't want it cause I don't need it. lol
