I have to get a new catalytic converter for my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 and I’m seeing prices (uninstalled) anywhere from $200-$400. I’m trying to get a ballpark estimate of what it’s going to cost me to get one installed. I’ve heard anything from $400 to over $1000.

So what’s the problem? You got estimates for parts and estimates for labor. You may choose the cheapest or you may go for quality. Is there still something you need to help you with the decision?
