After market cats are listed for your car... they have to meet EPA requirements same as original manufacturer... why not check them out? Ok... so it's won't say Mercedes on the part few will know, even less will care.. and you will pass emissions requirements... usually for a lot less $$

Is there an O2 sensor after the cat? I hear there are units available that will fake the signal from the O2 sensor if you clear out the cat but will that work on an MB? Does an MB expect the same signal from the O2 sensor that a Chevy does? Anyone know? Randy On 02/04/2011 9:57 PM, Kaleb

If you have the gear to cut open the cat, and weld it back together again, provided the tin is in good enough shape, I believe you can buy the internal cat material by the yard. I don't know the price, and I'm sure it's not cheap, but probably cheaper than buying a new factory cat. I knew a guy
