Need help on exhaust
Have a 2003 Corvette that has been diagnosed with a bad catalytic converter. Was running real sluggish & had a real bad smell. Thought it might have been bad gas at 1st, but then the check engine light came on so I took it to a shop for diag.
Want to keep stock exhaust, saw some oem replacements online, was wondering if anyone knows if it has 2 or 4 cats. Was looking at catco replacements, any input/suggestions would be appreciated.
Live in Toms River, NJ, would also like to know if there are any recommendations for a good Corvette mechanic in the area.
Thanx

Same thing happened to my 03 last year. They are covered for 8 yrs and 80k miles. Had mine replaced under warrantee. Beware they don't have a great stock of these at GM so you should only give your dealer about a week to locate one. Then call 1-800-222-1020 and tell them you need help with a warrantee claim. They can check inventory at dealers that are not connected to the main database of parts inventories.
They will also light a fire under your dealership and make sure you get great service, since they know that GM will contact you about your experience.
The part costs about $1200 if not covered.
Good luck.
