We could have used an open-end wrench to get the rear passenger side sensor out but that was the only one where an O2 sensor crowfoot was not needed.
Next, the plugs for all four O2 sensors were unplugged.
A little penetrating oil helped us remove the rusty bolts holding the cats in.

In Canada big OEM catatytic converter like this are worth a couple hundred dollar. A lot of people buy them on marketplace. But it is probably against the law in California to sell used coverter….
So EO# D-798-14 does not belong to Magnaflow which is the reason why the catalytic converter cans look different. They could have a cross marketing agreement with AP exhaust, which is why they are using their catalytic converter on their direct fit parts. 75 dollars to recycle your catalytic converter is a joke. if it was only worth 75 dollars catalytic converter thieves wouldn’t be stealing them off vehicles. Magnaflow is making a killing on recycling your old cats.
It’s actually $150 bucks and I don’t really care, was going to throw it away and Magnaflow makes it convenient to get rid of it.
I agree, finding a scrap yard and then getting to it, haggling, and getting whatever they give you is not worth the trouble if you can just send the catalytic converter back. It’s nice to get a little extra moolah on top of it, with $150 you can probably fill the tank on that Tundra from E lol.
maybe half tank! The good thing is the new cats gave me 2 more mpg.
Right👍🏿
Love that O2 sensor socket! Mine sticks out too far to be of much use in tight spaces.
