Default First cats needed!

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I've got a bit of a problem with exhaust on my 2000 GS300. Exhaust is slowly disintegrating :-( I'm on a hunt for good condition used first cats with more or less intact bottom double flange. I know that some people decatting their machines, so maybe someone is willing to part with these little ones gathering dust in a corner? Thanks in advance!

Good luck with that because pretty much everything you said you want to do is illegal. Unless you're doing it yourself, good luck finding a shop that will do it.

Yes. Like Mr Jokester said selling or installing used cats is illegal in all of the US. Just get a shop to weld in a cheap new one for you

Hi Konrad, we currently offer a few different catalytic converter options for your GS300. If you are in a non-CARB state and looking to replace the ones right off the exhaust manifold, you will want to look at part# 50603 and 49283. These are both direct bolt-on replacements that include new gaskets/hardware. You can find more info on them by visiting our site here:

https://www.magnaflow.com/products?partNumber=50603
https://www.magnaflow.com/products?partNumber=49283

If we can answer any questions about either one, feel free to drop us a PM anytime!
