New cat

I have a 07 Tacoma with 400,000 miles on it. The passenger side cat is bad. I am told OEM only or magnaflow. Toyota wants over 1000 just for the part. Magnaflow 500 and several others out there that are reputable brands that are half that even at about 250ish. Need a resource I can trust. I need to rely on my truck as I travel for a living. Anyone know if that is just bunk or if it's true?

 

I have never used them on a tacoma but have dealt with eastern cat a few times and never had an issue with products from them. Other than that you could look for a low mileage totaled truck at the salvage yard.

 

Yea, good idea. I think that might be best. I just don't understand why that would be said. Sometimes folks just go off half cocked and say stuff they don't really know. But I've heard it a few times now. Yet the guy at napa said that's bs. Anything to sell. Why else would they even make hen if they cause people problems? Thanks for the advise.
