[Supras] Catalytic Convertor

[Bob]

Midas Muffler in Bay City Michigan will INSTALL a universal converter on
most cars for the $100-120 range.  I assume this is a good price but should
be repeatable in most markets.

It won't be a 4" super wammy stainless wonder but it will work fine and pass
emissions.  

The Better question I have is why is the car eating so much oil and more
importantly can a car even pass using that much oil? 

Wouldn't the repairs to the car (new engine is well over $2500) get you a
waver?

Just some ideas...

Bob

Need a new Cat for the 86.5 NA ride in order to pass NJ emission inspection.
The rest of the exhaust system is fine.  

Since the car is burning about a qt of oil every 400-500 miles, I know that
this new cat won't last for any extended period of time, so I do not want to
place a nice new $400 plus Toyota unit in there.  Walker makes what the call
a direct replacement (WALKER Part # 15538) for around $120.  Anyone have any
experience with this unit or similar less costly options?  The engine is not
long for this world, but I need to hold the vehicle together for another 2
years until the 19 year old driving it can go out and get himself something
newer.

Thanks
Mike
