If catalytic converter is bolted on you can check them by taking them off and checking for cracks in the passage ways, if it is welded or you don't want to take them off to check you can take a drill and make two small wholes; one in front and one behind the CAT (be sure not to drill in the CAT, but in the pipes in front and behind it) get a pressure gage designed for such a job, [while the vehicle is running] check pressure of both holes, if the rear hole has a considerably lower pressure reading than the front reading then you know that the passage way is being blocked, you will see that the pressure in the front hole will be considerably greater this is because the gases are building (one or two psi difference isn't bad 5 or more lbs difference you might consider taking to a local muffler shop who can hook you up with a universal CAT!)

Warranty 2003 Toyota matrix catalytic converter California?
I have a 04 Toyota Matrix that has a bad catalytic converter that I need to get replaced too. I have found that Toyota's warranty on the catalytic converter is 8 years or 80,000 miles, which ever comes first. If your car is under those requirements than you can have a Toyota Dealership repair it for free. Unfortunately my Toyota has over 120,000 miles so I will have to pay for mine out of pocket, which can cost up to $1500. If you call Toyota directly and tell them about your catalytic converter they will document it and if enough people complain, then they will recall it!! 1-800-331-4331 Plus, if you have to pay for the repair now and later on they recall it, you will get reimbursed... So I suggest anyone that has a issue to call Toyota and make sure it is documented!
