A catalytic converter is pretty easy to replace. The toyota dealer also quoted you using the OEM cat. Heres a search: http://www.carid.com/search/2007-toyota-...converter. Dealers almost always quote you using OEM parts. If I take mine to the dealer, I always pick up the parts first. You lose the "dealer" part warranty, but most manufactures have their own warranty anyways.
I suggest looking at your exhaust diagram and seeing what you need. Replace your cat, 02 sensors, and be prepared to replace your muffler. My cat just went, it rusted out and clogged the muffler. I essentially had to replace everything from the headers back.
Can I replace the cat and 02 sensors myself? I like your suggestion of buying the part and going to the mechanic first, get a discount I imagine.
