2 local repair shops have told me i have a crack in my catalytic converter and the only way to fix it is to replace the entire exhaust system. That will cost me $1400. Is this really necessary. What problems does a cracked converter cause anyway?

Hi there,

The cat can be replaced as a unit only, there is no need to replace the entire exhaust system.
