Someone professionally cut off my catalytic converter from my Ford E-150.

Unfortunately going to cost more than $41.50.

do you know a car guy or have a small town shop you can get to? my cousin owns his own shop and i had a problem that, on the surface, looked like c.c. failure. he said the catalytic converter can be removed & bypassed but will only do it on the down-low and cash payment. maybe you could find a place that will do the same.
