14:59 🤣 Watching your youtube video and now my internet won't work…
What are you going to do now Erik… 😂😂😂😊 😊
People amaze me with the BS they come up with..
Faulty air😅😆
Skipped over front gasket part.. dam!
No more free air for him!!!😂 people like him ruin it for everyone else!!
that is what i call a ungrateful person or just a tight ass
The part at 10:17 mark is called what again? Mine is hanging down on one side and I want to replace it.
If someone steels the converter how can I tell.?
@15:30 Faulty air from your air compressor. It is clear that an increasing number of people have no shame and will seek to cast off responsibility for their poor decisions on to others. It is a disservice to everyone to appease people such as this, this sort of behavior must be condemned in all circumstances.
Exhaust work is always interesting. I like attempting some sort of semblance of the original configuration, but it never seems to work out that way.
Man really hate these rusty bolts, looks like I need to find a shop especially tough without a lift
How much is this job with labor
Do some altimas have 3 converter's
I got literally the exact same parts for my Nissan Altima, and I didn't even read or see your part's list. Learning from YouTubers really helped me hone the ability to work on my own car, so I really must thank you for the help!
You don't have them so it's hard for you to say, but if they are leaking a lot he might have put a fix a flat in them and that will destroy wheels. He's just trying to get someone else to pay for his FU.
You might want to get that air checked in your tanks lmao
Lmaoo. I work the auto parts store for the past 13 years plus and i have heard alot of weird stuff from customers but that right there about the air beats all i have heard b4.
called a nissan dealership. i have a 2014 altima and they let me know there are 2 catalytic converters bank 1 connected to the exhaust manifold attached to the engine. then there is also bank 2 under the car which is the one replaced in this video.
Just to show how relevant this video this; thank you for posting this. Like many other Altima owners, this is now on my immediate todo list for my car. All the other videos under "2014 Nissan Altima Catalytic Converter replacement" show numerous entries to replace the manifold in the front of the engine, not the actual converter. Thank you for making this, THIS answered my question of how to replace this on my car.
Tell the old guy to sue the PRNY for the bad air sucked in by your compressor.😂
I'm in Massachusetts and have a 2010 altima that has no rust on undercarriage that one in your shop looks hammered
That's the funniest thing I've ever heard, you have bad air…people are amazing.
How long does it take man hours?
Maybe you should start charging for air next time tell that person to blow his own tires up
A lot of nuts running around
good job.
It must of been the fast acting corrosion type. Ya, you bet.
Is this the secondary cat? I have a 2009 altima and want to str8 pipe the secondary cat ðŸˆ
Ahole looking for a freebie freakn con artist..cant make this sh.t up..lol
poor air?, so breathing the smog filled air is better?
Love your videos. Your family are good sports, including your pets.
Since Moby Dick was a Sardine!!! Lmfao
Awesome video….the narration is very interesting
Where are u located buddy
"Had this since Moby Dick was a sardine." Does Rodney Dangerfield write this stuff for you? ( – :
I stopped using a torch under the interior after it cost me some carpet and a front seat.
Wow that’s the first time I heard a complaint of FREE AIR!..: Yeah I can do something about it… Send that air nozzle where the sun don’t shine! Sorry for the vulgarity, but come on people. As a small business owner myself I know how people can look at you and say to themselves… “I bet that guy has money… I think I’ll try to sue him!†It’s like welfare to some people!
Exactly what I need done! Same car. I am having an issue of no acceleration and when it does she is very sluggish! Almost to the point of wont go. Hope it's just the one converter. Isnt there 2? How did you know which one it was?
11:22-24 "Slick as penguins snot…" 🤓
how much should a new converter cost these days? 9/30/21 thanks
Great video….
Curious….with all the cheap CATs out there…..are there brands you recommend that work decent, and don't reset the dreaded P0420.
Seems to be there's an awful lot of them out there on the market that are made in Canada.
Bad air- do you use California air?
"Because all three tires leaked profusely"
Uh huh….
Should have told the guy to lay off the fix a flat and try actually replacing tires instead. That stuff is notorious for eating alloy rims if left in there for an extended time. All of that stuff is just meant to get you to the shop to replace the tire, but people consider it liquid tire in a can and just carry on like everything is fine.
I run a residential remodeling business and one time after taking a number 2 at the client's house the toilet clogged up. I'm not unaccustomed to this happening and am quite good with a toilet plunger, but for some reason I could not clear this clog. Now after 2-3 days I knew whatever I put in there had dissolved at this point so I was a bit perplexed. Then I remembered that when I was clearing out the bathroom for the remodel there was a pack of wet wipes that was sitting on the back of the toilet and there wasn't any in the waste basket.
LIGHT BULB MOMENT
So then I compiled some information and a few video links and showed the client that in fact she was the reason her plumbing was clogged. Obviously she was unhappy that she now had to call and pay a plumber to come snake her pipes, but later apologized when in fact it turned out I was right. So yeah you gotta watch people man, if you even touch their stuff (or in your case they touched yours) and something goes sideways, they will ALWAYS be quick to blame you.
Torch them nuts off, of the cat converter thieves that is.
Thanks for your videos.
Wait I'm confused.. Why did you need a CARB compliant cat in NY?
Air omg that's funny like was that air for winter or summer
Y'What? A Cal-Cat in NY State? $25,000 Fine?
Those Democrats have stuffed you … just like Labour stuffed us in the UK
guy for the free air sounds like a gold digger….lol
