i needed my catalytic converter replaced and i took it to a local garage called speedy....
the are all over the place in canada, i dont know about the states, anyway i had them put on my muffler a few months prior and it was okay,
they said they just happened to have the right converter in stock so they said it would be an hour an dthe quote was okay too. great i thought
i got it back and drove it all day, then i heard a serious rattle, not just a rattle a deep bumping from the back of the car, not just that, the smell of a fucked converter... i had it go on my crx, but i had stripped the 240 and punched it out months earlier before i had it replaced.
so i take it back, i said maybe the cat was just working itself in, and that would account for the smell since i had not had one in months. but the rattle?
turns out he converter was wrong and was much smaller than the last one and pulled the muffler back and it was shaking fiercly and hitting part of the undercarriage, they adjusted it and said it was fine.
came back the next day with the same problem, adjusted it again, that is 3 trips in 2 days,
moved away to school and got pulled over on campus because my car reaked, "the cat" the idiotic campus cop said with a dog in my face, drove an hour and a half the next saturday and had them look at it
"no i dont see anything wrong"
well its been 2 months and i still have the rattling though it is seldom, and the cat reaks though again only from time to time, they wont help me i've been there 4 times, i have the reciept still and everthing, im just going to buy a hi-flow in a few days in this pooey town and see how that goes.
