MY VEHICLE IS A 2002 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 55,000 MILES. FOR A LONG TIME, I'VE HEARD KINDA ABNORMAL NOISE. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE EXHAUST PIPES ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ARE CRACKED RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. ONE SIDE COSTS OVER $450 FROM DEALER. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT AND MANY PATHFINDER OWNERS ARE REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO WARRANTY. *TR
