Default 1999 Acura 3.2 TL Catalytic Converter?
My check engine light has come on and my mechanic states that the code is a bad converter. The car has about 152,000 miles.Can I keep driving the car without any problems?What is an estimated cost of replacing the converter?

yeah, the catalytic converter is just an epa thing, it doesnt do anything for the performance. I would guess that replacing the converter is probably 150 bucks, (im guessing though)

You can still drive it, but it will not pass a smog equipment inspection. The converter price is about $200 on the web, maybe a little more at a muffler shop, and then some labor to install. Call around to some independent muffler shops an get a price.
