    I'm looking to replace the converter on my 2012 Prius V and can't seem to find any good videos or diagrams of a step by step process to replace it...please help!

    Thank you

    It’s bolt in if you replace the whole thing.

    You have to remove one O2 sensor between the two cats and remove the coolant hoses off the Exhaust Heat Recirc along with its supports. $1800 online from a dealer.

    In some states you may be able to use an aftermarket Walker for $500. With those you keep your Heat Recirc and have a shop weld on the Walker.
