Ok this is related to my previous post about power loss , when I had
the work done they also replaced the exhaust manifold for cracks under
recall . When looking up prices for the catalytic converter I see that
the convertoer and manifold are sold as one piece , so now I'm
wondering if they just reused the old converter and welded to the new
manifold ? or is it standard policy to to replace the complete
assembly ??

That's probably a better question to ask the dealer who did the work. Have
you looked underneath to see if there are any signs of a cut and weld, or if
it looks to be completely new?

On many vehicles, the manifold and converter are one assembly. If
this is the case for your car, you received a new assembly. There’s
no way the dealer would have welded a new manifold on an old
converter
