cat converter

[mpapa]

Need a new catalytic converter for my 79 spider. Anyone out there have any experience with aftermarket cats rather than the too expensive stock cat replacement?

I got mine at Mieneke for $149.00 installed and he even drilled and welded the heat probe back into place. However when in for service at an Alfa shop ( no longer in Business) The Mech was in a hurry and tuned the spica dead cold. Cat over heated to a glow and cooked the honey comb inside. Took it off and cleaned it out . Now just a hunk of metal that attaches my exhaust to the rear. Good luck

You might check out these guys. I bought a Cat for my Jeep and it seemed ok and has worked fine for a year now. Chinese sweatshop made, I would guess.
