Not too hard, just figuring out how to get the console apart the first time is a bitch. After that, ripping your interior apart is simple, I do it all the time

Failed Emmissions Test...Catalytic Converter Install
Hey Guys,
My CL failed the emmissions testing and I took it to a good friend who happens to be a high-end master mechanic. When he checked it out he said I needed a new cat. converter and it was going to cost $1400 installed. I don't have that kind of cash, so does anybody know if I can get an aftermarket catalytic converter online for cheap that would pass the tests? Also, should I try the install or should I take it somewhere? Also, does anybody have any clue how much coin I should expect to drop on this little repair if I let somebody else install it?
Thanks
