Im tryna fgure out wat i need for my car im ben told a calytic converter bt i jus wanted to knw wat some of the symptoms were. I do notice loosing power and somthing big i noticed was that my rpm gage would jus drop to zero, the car would still drive but i thought that was kinda odd. how much would it cost to replace the catllytic conveter? is it expensive?

CAT'* aren't that expensive to replace. You can drive down to a muffle shop and get a free estimate. A hi-flow aftermarket CAT will run you between $90 and $450 depending on which make and model you go for.

Symptoms of a clogged or damaged CAT are:

• Noises or rattles
• Whistling noise when accelerating
• Step on the gas and the car doesn't feel like its going any faster.
• Noticeable drop in gas mileage
• Engine may quit after a few minutes of driving or may feel like a engine governor limiting the RPM'* the engine can achieve.

3" Goerlich Catalytic Converter OBDII 608227 - 608227
just need to find someone to put it in
i'll let someone else tell ya the symptoms not really my area

You can test this by pulling your O2 sensor. If the cat is clogged this will give a place for the gases to get out. You will get a SES light and it will be loud.

Exhaust can also have a foul smell, but not always. Like rotten eggs. At night they can glow, but not always. It can leave you with a rough idle, stalling, poor acceleration. Being a 2000, it would for sure throw one or more trouble codes.
