WANTED: Esprit V8 Catalytic Converters USA

[HowardRoark 28 1 Vehicles]

Hi all,

I am looking for a new set of Lotus OEM Catalytic Converters for the USA.   Please send me a message if you have some for sale!   

I don’t think the aftermarket Cats would pass the California emissions so I am looking for Lotus OEM.  

Cheers!

Lotus no longer supply these as far as I know (they didn't when I looked anyway), I also contacted the original manufacturers who supplied Lotus (can't remember who they are) and they would not supply / manufacture any. I ended up with these:

These are direct copies of the originals (I know the person who supplied B&M with a new pair to copy and he swears by them). I now have these on the car - May be worth contacting them. One word of caution though, I originally bought through a 3rd party supplier who supplied one that was questionable as to whether it was a B&M cat (it broke up in under 1000 miles and just outside of any warranty) so it would probably be worth dealing direct. An expensive mistake for me.
