Ralph OP Wheeler My catalytic converter was stolen yesterday from my 91 pickup. My question is there a "Better" choice for it's replacement? I have a $250.00 deductible on my insurance so money isn't a problem. Ralph Ralph 1991 Toyota 4x4 Standard Cab Pickup. engnbldr cam and head.

Are you running anything other then a stock setup? If not I'd say go with an OE replacement, whatever floats your boat there. I can't see spending much on a "high flow" type.

I do want to stay with the stock Toyota unit. But I am looking for the best one to use. I've read posts where someone uses an after market Cat and had to reinstall the old one to pass smog shortly after wards. My old one was 2 1/4 in and out. I know they make smaller units.

Oem cats are easily twice the size of most of the aftermarket ones, and is why they seem to have an issue. Side by side comparison. The "X" indicates the area of the combustion chamber, screen to screen. Given the new CA smog regulations, the CARB approved cats shouldn't have the same issues as the old ones did. More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else. '90 X-cab 4.88's 33 BFG AT's, rr ARB, Headers, Ignition upgrade, cold air induction.
