I guess in response to Michael's post, new 2013 CA-CARB cats are not cheap ($250-$300) for a gen 2.5..another $200+ for plugs, wires oil, etc,etc..

That's $500 easy just for maint and NOT including the new STAR "cert" and test.

The point of diminishing returns comes into play real quick on older vehicles now.
