I have replaced once about 10 years ago and it needs it again. I just want to make sure than the mechanic is not taking me for a ride. He says we might have to also replace the catalytic converter, because it has been replaced once. Help!!!!
These are common failure items.The Catalytic converter will go bad every 60,000 to 120,000 miles on average. Longer if you can stay on good fuel.The flex pipe is an item that can fail because they do OR:
- It had a bump or bang the wrong way.
- Its in use in Canada during the winter. (They use so much salt I think plastic will rust )
- An engine mount has gone bad
- There is an exhaust leak between the engine and it.
Get a second opinion and have those things checked.
