I have a right side cat/pipe if you decide you want to purchase an OEM used replacement.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

�02 m6 coupe, 75k mi. NA. Nice car with checkered past that I recently have tried to sell. An intermittent CE light has occurred that a very reputable independent has diagnosed as R side cat failure. That shop has raised the idea of only replacing the R side for time and expense considerations. I have not decided to keep or trying to sell vehicle yet because I miss driving the car, but what are the consequences of only replacing the one cat? Will I need to replace L side in a few months or change the back pressure between banks of cylinders causing future engine problems? Will keep car 1-2 years if I go that route. Thanks for comments.

POST 2Original post

I have a right side cat/pipe if you decide you want to purchase an OEM used replacement. I personally went with 200 Cell X-pipes and have been happy with my choice. I haven't had check engine code, but others have. It's a toss up.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What price on the used cat for r 996? Where is it located, and guesstimate on shipping? Weight?
