I am trying to figure something out about my car. Somebody stole the catalytic converter off of it while my son had it. That is a long story, but I took it to get it fixed today and the muffler shop said the converter near or in the motor was ruined too. They couldn't fix it. I didn't know there were two converters on the car. It is a 2005 Ford Taurus. This is the part in the engine or that attaches to the engine. So, now I am really confused what to do because I could take that money and put a deposit on another car. This car otherwise runs great. I guess I will have to bring it to a different garage and get an estimate there. Can anyone explain this better or find a diagram. I don't know if anything else is ruined. I know nothing about cars but have had to replace a converter a long time ago. That was just the one piece. Sorry if I mentioned this before.
