After getting the p0430 code I ended up bringing the car to Ford and confirmed it was a bad cat. The car is putting out a pretty strong exhaust smell. Looking for some advise.
1. can bad cats lead to exhaust smells or do I have another issue with an exhaust leak somewhere?
2. I was looking at the best way to fix the issue (and cost effective) can anyone give me some thoughts on this https://www.americanmuscle.com/magnaflow-directfit-hm-grade-catted-hpipe-0509-gt.html
Looks like a straight forward install. My hope is that I could get this and fix the check engine light and exhaust smell.
any advice would be appreciated from you experts
