The price to replace a catalytic converter on a 2015 Dodge Durango varies widely, but installed costs typically range from about $500 to $2,000 or more, depending on the part type and how many converters are involved.
What affects the price
The Durango’s engine options and exhaust layout influence how many catalytic converters are present and which parts you need. You’ll pay more for OEM parts than for aftermarket equivalents, and costs rise if the vehicle requires more than one catalytic converter or if labor is extensive.
- OEM direct-fit catalytic converter (one cat)
- OEM direct-fit catalytic converter (two cats, if applicable)
- Aftermarket direct-fit catalytic converter (one cat)
- Aftermarket catalytic converter (universal fit, may require fabrication)
- Labor costs and shop rates
- Additional parts and services (gaskets, oxygen sensors, clamps, disposal)
These factors mean that the total installed price can vary widely—from a few hundred dollars for a basic aftermarket setup with minimal labor to several thousand dollars for OEM parts and a multi-cat arrangement plus higher labor charges. For the most accurate figure, obtain quotes from local shops using your VIN and engine specification.

Note: Durango configurations vary by engine (for example, 3.6L V6 vs. 5.7L Hemi) and by emissions layout. Ask shops for a VIN-specific quote that includes parts, labor, disposal, and any required sensors or gaskets.
How to get the best price
Shop around and get multiple written estimates. Ask whether the price includes taxes, disposal fees, and a warranty on parts and labor. If theft prevention or a higher-profile OEM part is desired, expect to pay more. Also inquire about timing and whether the work can be done with minimal downtime.
Summary
For a 2015 Dodge Durango, catalytic converter replacement costs depend on whether you choose OEM or aftermarket parts, and on whether one or two converters are involved. Expect installed prices roughly in the $500–$2,000 range, with OEM parts and dual-cat setups trending toward the higher end. To ensure an accurate quote, bring your VIN and engine details to a few local shops and compare both part warranties and labor rates. Staying aware of regional price differences and potential theft-deterrence options can help you make an smart, informed decision.
