1992 Ford E-150 Van, apparently exhaust system is shot -- catalytic converter


Question:
1992 Ford E-150 Van, apparently exhaust system is shot -- catalytic converter all the way back. How much should that cost to repair?


Answer:
The price can vary from dealerships to independent shops.

Just to replace the Catalytic converter the book says approx. $800-$1200. Adding a muffler and pipe will add approx. $200 - $300 to this price. The catalytic converter ranges in price from $650-$975 Labor for the Catalytic converter replacement is $200-$250.


Here is an alternative, Autozone sells a direct fit converter for $225. A tailpipe for $42, muffler for $37 and exhaust pipe for $108. Labor should be approx. $200-$300 for this job, but most shops will want to sell you the parts as that is part of their income stream.
