Anyone know of a 05+ 2.7 being parted out?

Im looking for a catalytic convertor for my 2.7, im over the 80k warranty and dealer is out of my price range at 1300+. I live in good old California so i cant run the aftermarket 49 state legal cats (they wont even ship to CA).Ive tried wrecking yards but i was told it was illegal for them to sell. Any leads to a craigslist add or something would be much appreciated.

thanks, Just called them up, they say they recycle them.

 

You shoulda told them what the dealer charges new for them...

 

lol yea but he insisted to tell me its illegal.

 

Anyone know of another way? I just passed Ca smog a month before cat went bad. I want my back pressure back and im tired of hearing loose marbles in my exhaust lol.

 

There's one in the Phoenix AZ Craigslist but it looks like it rolled off a mountain so not sure what shape anything underneath is in

With each passing day comes a new reason to hate living in california...

Maybe take a road trip to a nevada parts store or something

 

I hear you on that one, i just may end up doing that, im 4 hours from Reno.

I have had some luck buying for salvage yards, I told them I needed the "Y" pipe and it came with the 2 cats....just cant ask them you need the cats...and yes it is not to be sold used to anyone for private use just scrapers, so try that and under the table, they may think the state is calling them, and not responde well on the phone too!

 

2 year bump

 

bump

 

haha thanks buddy!

 

Did you ever find a cat cause magnaflow makes them new and they make carb compliant ones

 

I have an 06 I'm parting out, 2.7 regular cab. Has 193k miles, but Honda and toyota cats usually last pretty long. Came from Phoenix which is a smog county in AZ. 9I65I29647
