Default Any help for catalytic converter after 80K??

my cat has gone bad in my 1.8t as well, Im at 90,000.

Went to my local audi dealership but they didn't offer anything for me other then to tell me that the cat warranty expires at 80,000...

Nothing for now since i was quoted at about $2000 for new cat/o2 sensors+labour from Audi. If you have the 3.0 you have to replace two cats, I cant imagine how much that would be...

Apparently driving with a bad cat is not bad for the car. It is only there to filter bad fumes from getting out the exhaust system. The only time that it becomes a problem is when you have to pass emission tests, because you won't with a bad cat.

They don't list cat's for a 3.0. Anyone know where to source some good one, besides the dealer?
