The catalytic converter on my 2016 Elantra has decided to clog up. Currently at 135,000 miles, I noticed it was down on power about a year ago but didn't think much of it. Drives alright if you take it very easy. No codes for catalytic failure and there is no emissions testing here. The engine consumes 1 litre/3,500 miles.
New factory converter = $1,500. .Cheapest universal converter = $75. The converter is a simple inline round section with an o2 sensor in the side/middle. I imagine a universal is the way to go. I can find ultra cheap for $75. And magnaflow or eastern for about $200. Can't find a walker that fits the bill.
So the questions.....has anyone had any luck with the cheaper [$100 - $200] converters? I don't want to replace it in 3 months but It doesn't have to last forever.
Any recommendations?
