What ever you do, never fit a pattern cat. They sound dreadful!

What was the exact error code? Any holes in the exhaust, flexi not starting to fail?

Why does that mean a new cat then?  :-\

What ever garage did this does not inspire me with confidence  ::)

Have a look yourself to prove this, take heat shield off and inspect. At worst it means a replacement exhaust manifold, not cat  ;)

But what was the exact code?

Might be worth investing in a code reader  :y

Also confirm visually for yourself, get under and inspect the exhaust too. Have engine running, be easier to find any gaps were it maybe blowing  :y

Look for holes in the exhaust, which can skew emissions.

Has it currently got a GM cat on, as it may already be a pattern one. Pattern ones are lucky to last the warranty period.
