magnaflow catalytic converter Crapping out

[Roger]

Hello everyone! The legend is still alive and trucking @ 192K now and even while splitting the miles between the Legend and the TL I'll be hitting 200K in the next 6 months for sure!

Anyways my exhaust on the legend was starting to rattle which I thought was just the heatsheild loose again but when I got under the car I realized it was coming from the aftermarket Magnaflow CC that I had welded in about 5 years ago now. It looks like it is totally rusting out inside or something it is falling apart to say the least. To think my almost 15 year old original exhaust system (mostly Michigan owned) is still hanging together and that POS Magnaflow is falling apart!! I wish I had never put that crap on my car.

Anyways I need a cheap fix here I have a shop that does cheap welding I just need to find a junked OEM hopefully in decent shape I know when I have mine removed it was in perfect shape! Or I guess I will have to settle for another "cheap" replacement. I live in NC now so it should last a bit longer. Anyone have any ideas??
