Looking to get a stock catalytic converter for 2001 Tiburon. If you happen to be going turbo, you might want to free up some back-pressure. I have a gutted stock "shell" that I can throw in for trade.

TIA

It is a federal no-no to sell a used catalytic converter except to a recycler for scrap value, or for a shop to install one. With a little searching you will probably find a thread that will point you to a new one at a ridiculously low price from an online OEM parts seller.

Thanks for the info. I'll look for the link.

I'm still interested in somebody's used one. To be more specific, I'm looking for the 2nd cat, the one that bolts into the exhaust pipe.

It was a federal offense when I accidentally my old cat. Now I am trying to resolve it. Cheaply. So if someone has this part and needs rid of it (or trade for a very free-flowing, stock-looking replacement), please PM me. kthxbye

Alright alright, i just want to know how you accidentally hollow out a cat. And just do as posted above, look for the online retailer with the lowest price, theres a list of them in the vendors forums

Accidentally jammed an intentionally-bent piece of rebar into the cat's inlet and outlet, repeatedly.

OOPS! OOPS! OOPS! OOPS! OOPS! DAMMIT! OOPS!

Sorry REDZ, but come on, this is a silly request to restate after somebody already told the OP it was a crime.
