Looking to find out how much for a new cat. Some bastard stole my cat.

I only want OEM do you think my insurance will cover it?

 

Depending what your deductible is you might be better off paying cash for it. Wouldn't make sense to pay a $500 deductible for a $300 Cat, IF its $300.

Sucks to hear it got stolen, Birdbrain just had his stolen a couple months ago, at least they left the 02 sensors......

 

Lets start with your details. What kind of vehicle do you have? Motor? Trans? Emissions? Yes, that all matters.

Did they cut or unbolt it?

Have you contacted your insurance company?

 

should i get a brand new one from toyota

 

3.4 98 ca emisson they cut after the first o2 and unbolt the cat. havent talk to insurance yet

 

 

what so funny

 

Ok, now we are getting somewhere.

You want this:

Toyota part number 17401-62050 List price $1,371.04

I would be calling your insurance company.

 

You are gonna have to get it welded regardless if they cut it. Find out what the insurance says and price out OEM and aftermarket. I have a magnaflow that works fine.



Holy hell 1300 bucks!!!! ouch, bra!!

 

sweet mother of lord

 

Depends on where they cut it. If they unbolted it between the cat and the rear section, but cut ahead of the cat, he will be ok. The new cat comes with a downpipe section from the crossover back. Its not like our trucks where the pipe unbolts from the cat.

See here:



He only needs #4, which Toyota wants over $1300 for. Hence why thieves steal that stuff.

 

Thats crazy crap.


me likey cheap to replace cat.

this is what missing the area i circule

 

Damn you're good, DC. You must work with Toyotas or something.

 

i think my neighbor stole it. he have the same 4runner too how come they dont take his but mine

 

your insurance will not cover it. unless you can prove it was stolen. get an aftermarket cali-cat from magnaflow. $230, allot cheaper.

 

damn now i gotta put out some cash for the damn cat

 

I have seen one or two or 1600 in my day

 

Hello all, I had my Cat stolen, 1400 for 17401-62050 OEM and replaced with with Magnaflow 49249.



Check engine light continues to come on says diagnostic says that Cat is bad and triggering the second sensor.



It has less than 5k on it, Toyota says its the wrong cat, my Toyota Tech says I need to replace it with a OEM or it will continue to trip the engine light.



I spoke to Magnaflow and they told me that its the correct cat for my 2000 4Runner. Told me to get a Emissions test and call them but they believe its something else.

Suggestions? Thoughts?

For the money and time I have already spent, I should have just bought the OEM Cat!

 

Be nice to know just what code it is throwing?/

Have you checked or replaced the sensors I just did the whole exhaust from the down pipe back to the tail pipe on a 3.4 using walker cats and muffler with two new denso sensors. i have no problems. In fact the light cleared by itself.

for what it is worth about 120,000 miles 2000 Tacoma
