Catalytic Converter
Hello all,
Thanks for having me. I'm new to the group and just got my G8 GT. I have only had my G8 for about 3 weeks. 2 days ago i started getting a rattling sound from the right front. I took it in to a shop and they found the right front catalytic converter was blowing out. Can anyone help me find a used one ..
I forget if 08 and 09 had the same cats. I have an 09 pair with maybe around 50k on them.

I believe the manifold cats are the same for all years, but the 9.5's added the little pup cats inline.
Personally, I'd buy a higher flowing pair from Solo and be done with it. It's a major restriction on the G8.
