Comment
 My experience installing both new and used (often referred to as
re-conditioned or rebuilt) converters is that they just don't
work. In nearly every case that I have installed one, I've ended
up replacing it with a factory catalyst when working on OBD2
vehicles. This has often been at cosiderable extra cost to me. I
Feel any catalyst sold should meet OEM spec's, or at least perform
well enough that it passes OBD2 self tests. If not it shouln't be
sold. The cost to busneses and the consumer is much higher when a
replacement part has to be replaced "again". I don't see this cost
factored into your evaluation. If you could put a dollar figure on
it, I'm sure it would be very large one. Please continue this
action with my support.  Mike Howe
