Automan2164 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Recently, I had the muffler replaced after dealing with it for 5 months. Not wanting to do it myself, I sent it to a local place, and they did a real nice job. Only thing is, I think the old muffler (which had the pentastar on it still) was hiding a cat rattle. Now that the muffler is quiet, that rattle is driving me nuts. Being a 'thrifty' individual, I have weighed a few options... Gut it, put in a test pipe, and simulator of sorts, or... Just spend the $130 on a new one and have someone burn it on. In my research, I've found that there may be a recall that could get me a new cat, but have no way of running the VIN at this time of night. Can anyone in CC land check and tell me if it's open or I qualify? VL601005 110K Miles Many thanks in advance. Rob :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I used to be able to do them like that, but something has changed on my puters and the cut and paste is funky now. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
