    I’m sure some of them are idiots. I’m also sure there are some people who needed a car to work, catalytic converter went out and they needed to find the cheapest possible way to pass emissions and keep getting to work.

    I know that because I’m about to drop a thousand or 2 on my catalytic converter, which I’ll have to install myself to save money, to pass emissions. Luckily, I can budget well and every car repair known to man is on YouTube

      Someone needs to start a catalytic converter rental service where in they install a caddy so you can get your emissions done and then they install the bypass when they take the unit back so that you can cheat the system and look legit. /s

      I feel like everyone should just share one catalytic converter if they’re gonna cost that much
