I have a 07 impreza SE. I have 3 codes on. 1. Bad front CAT 2. Evap Leak, 3. P0026--1
I have shops that are charging me 1100 for the CAT. The Subaru dealership charges 1100 as well but will diagnose all the problems for free as well. I have a shop willing to replace the CAT with a aftermarket for $800 with cash and 1 year warranty.
My question is, with my smog test coming up at end of month, should I go for the aftermarket for 800? or go to the dealership? I hear that aftermarket doesnt work all the time but with the warranty I feel better.
What would you guys do? It has 93k miles on it.
