why is it all the parts sites won't ship a Catalytic Converter to Calif?
anyone Know where I can get one for my 1990 300se with 160k on it
I checked the parts at peach parts they don't have one
How much do they cost anyone buy one lately? websites list about $308 for 49 states
and how can you tell when its bad? cel came on .replaced o2 sensor.it came back on.one post says cat is shot.

lowesguy, before buying a new catalytic converter based on an online diagnosis have a local indie (who knows MB automobiles) verify that you actually need one.

You get it on lift and hit it with your fist - preferably while cold and not hot. If it rattles inside, the insides are toast. If you hear nothing, it probably is still good.

Click on "Buy Parts" and then call Phil (he's back right?) and he can sell you whatever you want.
