Ok, I did a search but it turned up nothing usefull. I have a few questions. I figure maybe instead of my new brakes and rotors I may just as well get my preheat cat instead. I figure thats more important right now but .......

1: Is there a difference between the 2 door and the 4 door preheat cat? I went on to kia.com and I couldn't bring anything up with a 2 door. I was checking online and I found a couple of cheaper listings for preheat cats but they said they were for the 2 door. Is there really a difference.

2: Can I use any catalytic converter or does it specificly have to be a preheat cat?

3: Has anyone come across a listing anywhere for an after market preheat cat? I've done a search on google and yahoo but I really didn't come up with much. I'm looking for the BEST but CHEAPEST preheat cat I can find. anyone.

4: Is it a smart idea to look for a used on anywhere. Just wondering how strong the insides are. I mean if I find a used one is there a chance that the ceramics inside would break apart during shipping.

5: Someone please help ...... I don't want to have to go to a dealer to get this done. The new laws here in Pennsylvania are in effect right now !! It is $46 to get the test done + whatever the cost of inspection. It just cost a friend of mine $68 for there inspection. That sucks.


Someone please help me with some answers. I have until the end of april before I have to get my inspection done.
