'05 g6 catalytic converter [FRONT] replacement p0430

[@702mechanic5]

Real life of being a Mechanic. Parts are usually the hold up in my jobs too.

[@smd513]

my Pontiac caught on fire glad i was able to catch if front of my house

[@smd513]

can the catalytic converter be the reason?

[@nolangietzen4668]

I got the same one off Amazon the welds could be better but other than its good for a car thats only worth 3 grand

[@johncash1847]

How has the Amazon catalytic converter been holding up?

[@nikkonunya5165]

Does it matter if the code reads P0420 or not ?

[@partsshooter]

I don't understand your question...

[@nikkonunya5165]

My code on my car reads p0420 ... The one on the video says p0430 .. I was asking does it really matter , is it the same thing ?

[@partsshooter]

@@nikkonunya5165 thanks for clarifying... Yes, they are essentially the same code just bank 2 [p0430] vs back 1 [p0420]

[@nikkonunya5165]

Oh okay . so can you show me exactly what bank 1 would look like so i wouldnt order the wrong piece .. Because when I Google it I be getting confused

[@partsshooter]

@@nikkonunya5165 if you can't recognise the part. Have a professional install it. Or simply go to a parts supplier. Good luck

[@aracelihelke2962]

For the new one

How much did you pay

[@joeybaren4105]

Pretty sure only a few hundred at best on Amazon. The Pontiac ones cost 1k

[@joeybaren4105]

Can you please give advice on how to not break those dumb clips. If I ruin the clips on my g6 I will have an anxiety attack.

[@partsshooter]

Don't stress... Some things are inevitable

[@joeybaren4105]

@@partsshooter what! Should I get electric tape and just wrap it around

[@partsshooter]

@@joeybaren4105 not a bad idea! Or a zip tie

[@joeybaren4105]

Is it same clips as the headlights have

[@joeybaren4105]

I'm stressed because every autobody shop wants 1k minimum. I think I can get my own at AutoZone and put it in but what's with that welding thing I can't weld
