Catalytic Converter Replacement

[beejium]

i have a 94 4.0 xlt, 4x4 and the rear cat flange is rotted off. the cat looks in really poor shape. i dunno if i can weld to it.... is it legal for the vehicle owner to replace the cat? i am not talking about removing/destroying it for obvious legal reasons. i need this to be emissions legal being my only means of transportation. i was told by a friend that the cat just has to be there and work, that it didn't matter who replaced it... is this correct? and what do i do with the old one?

yes you can replace your self... as for wat to do with it sell it for scrap depending on where you live they can almost cover the price of an after market one

Great. I think you can really weld that thing off. My uncle has a garage service & that's what he did. Anways, street-legal? I guess it depends on the state that you are in.
