Had the 05 Toyota Matrix with 155k miles in for some exhaust work. There was a rust hole in the bend of the exhaust pipe by the rear axle. That was fixed. Prior to this about 2.5 years ago the donut gasket in front of the C.C. was replaced. A common issue on these cars. That had a one year warranty and I remember right at about the 11 month mark it was getting slightly loud again. Never got around to getting it fixed. Now the same muffler shop is saying that there are holes on top of the C.C. making it loud and the C.C. needs to be replaced. Is it common for a cat. to go bad because of holes on the top of it? The bottom of it looks fine. My guess and hope is the donut gasket needs replacement.
The shop quoted $575 for a Catco replacement. I'll prob try another shop and see what they say.
Thank you in advance.
