2008 KIA SPORTAGE AFTERMARKET VS OEM CATALYTIC CONVERTER
I had my catalytic converter stolen and cut out. The mechanic is going to
have to replace not only the catalytic converter, but also the manifold and the
exhaust pipes. Mechanic says that I need to go with the OEM catalytic
converter because if I don't I will have the O2 sensors starting to act up
causing check engine light problems and the aftermarket is only warranted
for 1 year and the aftermarket will go out in a year. Insurance wants to
replace with only aftermarket. Can you tell me if the mechanic is giving me a
story and I will be ok with the aftermarket or if the mechanic is right and the
insurance is wrong? Thank you.
