Same here, I thought 1 cat. I mean, you only have one exhaust - downpipe to cat to split to resonators to mufflers to tips. I don't see any second cat fitting anywhere but what do I know.

Honestly, either you are not translating what the mechanic is saying too well or he has no idea what is wrong with the car but is willing to try on your money. I think the latter is true and I think you should drive/tow it elsewhere - to a Eurotuner:

You might need to open up your air filter box, and check if your filter is covered in sh*t... you did say your car is having trouble breathing right? If it looks to messed up to deal with I recommend you buy a K&N drop in filter, 40$. Have you ever, to your knowledge cleaned your air filter? Cause with 33k on it, uncleaned... that could be an issue worth investigating.... Have you replaced your sensors? After you change your air filter, replace those and see if it still has trouble breathing or starts up funny. This might be your issue but I'm not 100% sure.[&:] Trying to come up with a reason here.... but 2 grand is just ridiculous.[:@]

Damn I'm good, I knew replacing the MAF sensor could help, posted my response after reading your first post... but let me know on the filter status. Clean that b*tch or buy a K&N drop in, I think this might have a lot to do with your issue.

just went over there again .. and he told me i need a Mass Air Flow Sensor .. which i just bought one form ebay lol... for 85 dollars .. he wanted to charge me 300 for a new one ..... and he told me he wants to do that first then hell see if i have to change my Cat...
300 bucks for a MAF sensor is a lot, I bought a brand new one for about 165 bucks (Canadian) from the dealership last summer. PureMS sells themfor a good price too: http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1676
The TechTonics tuning HFC is a good cat replacement: http://www.techtonicstuning.com/show...rtnum=253.167T
With an angled rear O2 sensor spacer, it doesn't throw the cat insuficiency CEL (at least it doesn't on mine) so you're OK with emissions.
