Cheap Catalytic Converters

[benlilly 0]

Hi,

 

The exhaust on my Citroen ZX runabout has rusted through at the output of the cat and i need a new one. My local exhaust place (who are generally very reasonable) have quoted £150 for a pattern part but there are places on the web doing them for £50.

 

This seems too good to be true. Anyone have any experience of them?

i have fitted cheap cats before and been lucky to get 2 mots out of them some are good , you may be better in long

run to pay a little bit more

Thanks for the info, Jonny.

 

GSF have one for £75. Might be a decent compromise although it could be the same as the 50 quid parts.

 

For a £75 saving I think I'll risk it. Their parts are usually ok.

yeah i not sayin dont get a cheap one as i would try save money as well lol

 

i have fitted cheap ones to customers cars but i avoid the really cheap ones

 

gsf and eurocar parts are normally pretty good
