You should have recieved a phamplet in regards to the ontario's drive clean program. In there it has a general guide line on what to fix when you don't pass certain parts of the test. Hope this helps

If u failed everything. i'm pretty sure is your Catalytic converter.

lol.....just pick up an emissions certificate that says you passed ... its cheaper

ItalianMafia

how much does catalyic converter's cost?

imported_D dot T

Heard its quite a bit but I'm not positive how much. Best bet is to check w/ Minute muffler, midas, speedy, and etc.

I second that hahaha

A brand new aftermarket stock fit Cat will run u around $120-$130 plus tax. The place where i get it. A NGK brand new 02 sensor from the dealership is like $200-$300. That's a rip off.
