    I've had the code for cat efficiency on two old Prii. They both drank oil and at well over 200k they threw that code. Got a replacement cat for $90 on Amazon, took it to a local shop and they welded it on for $70. No more codes and it runs better now.

    Hope this helps

    That sounds great, my issue is finding a shop that would do that. I started some inquires but the responses were not favorable. Wish I could weld! Was the drinking oil effected by the change in new cat?

    Any, shop that works on exhust CAN do a Prius. It is no different then a Ford F150, or a Toyota Camry!

    I don't know if it will make a difference, but I doubt it.

    Anyone used the bolt on replacement? Any actual experience? I looked into that option previously but was not sure what would be coming from where I was looking back then.

    I have not, sorry. And both CA and NY prohibit non-certified Cats, and the Prius has no certified cats except Toyota's. So it would be someone in a flyover state.
