I just had a new catalyic converter installed and I was just wondering if it should have been welded because the dealer just bolted the converter on.

My gp is a 2001 with 120000km on it.The converter was covered under warranty,therefore I paid nothing which is good because they wanted $700.00 for a new one.

Everything on the stock exhaust is bolt-on. I bet your happy you didn't have to pay, for another $100 you could have gotten the slp headers with the install kit and catalytic converter.

$700! Oh wait, forgot your from Canada. So about $584.26? For some reason that still seems preety high to me and for that price I say get the entire cat back system.

I believe when they replace a stock cat it's the DP,cat and U-bend it's all one piece and a bolt on .
