Most cars have a converter that can be replaced with a high quality aftermarket converter for a price much less than what a factory converter would cost, but many cars such as cars with California emissions and many Toyota vehicles will require a specialized converter or in some cases a new factory converter to satisfy the scrutiny of the powertrain computer. Lower priced converters typically equate to less precious metals internally and a reduced expected lifespan. Factory converters almost always out-perform an aftermarket in lifespan.
