how much does it cost to put a cadilac converter into a 01 stratus?

Answer 1

you can buy a good used converter for it off a salvage car for about 100-200 bucks or a new one ,their kind of high though,i,ll post a site for new one,labor will run from 50-100 bucks to install it,if you find a good used one that will be your best bet,it will last just as good ,but check the warranty papers that me be covered ,a lot of the emission parts do have a good warranty on them,good luck.http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/

That all depends on whether you do it yourself, or take it in, and where you live.

If you live in California, you're pretty much screwed.

An aftermarket catalytic converter for a Stratus runs about $50 off eBay, or about $100 off JCWhitney. You can NOT legally install a used catalytic converter you pulled off another car, even if it's the same exact model.

You could install it yourself, sawing off the old one (Unless somebody stole it.....) and clamping a new one on. If you have the resources, welding the converter in place is much better.

I did a complete exhaust upgrade to my van, high-performance dual-inlet catalytic converter, Dynomax muffler, and straight-piped the last bend. Cost $200 out of pocket, recovered $80 selling the old catalytic converter on eBay.

Getting it done in a shop will be a couple hundred dollars. They love to charge a lot. Firestone charges $82/hour for labor alone. I took the van to an independant suspension shop to have them put two small spot-welds on one of my ball joints. $60 for maybe 5 minutes of work.

well it deepens if you are going to do it your self or are you going to take it to a shop. If you go to a shop you ar looking at $500 to $600. But if you do it your self and you use after market parts it can be Dun for $200 if you do it your self
a factory cat would cost you $400 dollars a at a shop thay use factory parts and after labor. But the reason I yell you to use a after market cost is thay are just as good as a factory but thay wont admit it.

Answer 4

Do you mean CATALYTIC converter? If so, look closely at your warranty booklet. Because they are emission components, they are often (and usually) warrantied for much longer than the standard 3 year 36K miles. If you have to pay your own, figure on spending about 800 dollars. Because they use platinum for components, they are expensive.

Answer 5

last time i checked the convertor was $199.00 and then i done mine myself. but labor at a shop could coast up to $60.00 per hour.
