How much does replacing an Acura RL catalytic converter cost?

My exhaust has been smelling of sulfur lately, and my mechanic says it might be the catalytic converter. I’m worried that it’s going to be really expensive to repair. Can you tell me what repairing or replacing an Acura RL catalytic converter costs?

You’re right: replacing an
Acura RL
catalytic converter can be costly. The job, including parts and labor, generally costs about $1,900.
Repair would be cheaper but isn’t always possible. If you believe it is simply clogged or dirty, you can try adding a catalytic converter cleaner to your gas to see if that works or soak the part in a citric acid solution for six to eight hours.
If there is any type of damage, these tricks won’t work (despite what you read on the internet), and replacement is the only option.
