    Hi guys,

    What after market catalytic converter do you guys recommend for a Gen 3? The original was stolen and a aftermarket one was put in. You guys know the story, the check engine came on and I couldn't pass emissions. I also tried a spacer with no luck.

    It seems like there is a permanent code when I run the scanner that can't be deleted. I can't get my system monitors ready to pass :/ I'm going to try a different aftermarket converter. Any suggestions or links to particular one that worked for you?

    Thanks!

    I don't believe the aftermarket ones have the lines for the coolant.
    So it's NOT really for a Prius.
