Cut off the old one and weld a new one in its place.
Brown and Brown in Mesa Arizona is charging me $1300.00 to replace the catalytic converter and fuel filter.
The 1998 Chevy Astro van is equipped with two oxygen sensors. One is located before the catalytic converter (upstream), and the other is located after the catalytic converter (downstream). These sensors monitor the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases to optimize engine performance and emissions.
General condition of vehicle? Can you replace vehicle for the amount of repair? Do you like vehicle?
There is 1 before and 1 after the catalytic converter.
If a catalytic converter is indeed bad, it's far more cost-effective to replace it rather than try to repair it
To replace the catalytic converter on a 2001 Chevy Cavalier, start by safely lifting the vehicle and securing it with jack stands. Disconnect the exhaust pipes from the catalytic converter using a wrench, and unbolt the converter from its mounting points. Remove the old catalytic converter and install the new one, ensuring a proper fit and sealing any joints with exhaust gasket material if needed. Finally, reconnect the exhaust pipes and lower the vehicle, checking for leaks before driving.
The catalytic converter is found in the exhaust system between the engine and the muffler.
