Sounds like you hit some luck. However, that $800 sounds a little high
to me to replace the cat. Was that at a full service mechanic? You
will usually get much better pricing on anything exhaust related at a
shop that does nothing but exhaust work. However, since your in the
emmisions warranty you should make the dealer do it.
