The mechanic says that echo's don't run worth a hoot on after market cat converters and thats why he has to get a 1000$ Toyota factory converter. is that true or can i just put in a $80 after market one in. if so what Cat Converter would you recommend?
thanks

Unfrotunaly he is correct. MOST TOYOTAS do NOT run worth a CRUDE with Aftermarket converters. They last for a few months , then the p0420 comes back for a CATALYTIC Coverter Inefficiency, and you end up buying the Toyota converter anyways.
What code(s) do you have.
