Need complete exhaust from catalytic converters (front pipe) back. V6 Automatic AWD.
I’ve heard your local exhaust shop(s) does that type of work…
Around my parts, Inglewood Muffler and Hitch does a great job for a good price…
Pretty common problem for a 22 year old car. Esp if driven in road-salted areas. Ask the repair shop if stainless steel replacement parts are worth considering.
Lemme send you a new one… Wait, we don’t do that here.
Call local exhaust shops for estimates.
There’s an excellent locally owned exhaust shop in Superior, WI. Been my and others’ go-to for decades now. There may be such a place near you. Ask around.
That’s not surprising for a 23 year old vehicle. Is your check engine light lit? If so, what are the codes? The shop that gave you the estimate should have those codes and should explain how they relate to your need for a new exhaust system. If you don’t have a CEL, how do they know you need all this? If it’s just a noisy exhaust system you probably don’t have a CEL and you don’t need a catalytic converter.
Get rid of the thing while it still runs.
