Hello I have some problems with my 94' pontiac grand am. First, the most obvious problem is my muffler. It is old and really loud. How much does it cost for the part and the service to fix it? Also, how much is to fix the catalytic convention in my 94' pontiac grand am.

Thanks on the muffler info. I also forgot to ask, my car can't steer too well when I steer it to the right. It feels like I'm working out when I steer my car to the right, and when I turn the wheel back, it's not position in a normal state. Yet I have no problem turning left, and to reposition the abnormal state of my wheel after turning right, I have to make a left. Do you know what's wrong with my car and what it may cost to fix this problem? Also how much would it cost to replace the catalytic converter and how long may it take to fix?

The steering is a bit hard to tell with out a test drive, but I would be looking at a rack problem, but as I am in Australia I don't know these cars that well, as for the costings you ask for I mentioned in the last post that the cat would take about 1 Hr, you will have to see what your local labour rate is.
