    Unfortunately the Escape has 3 ... yes 3 Catalytic converters. The first two up front are actually built into the exhaust manifolds and are an integral piece of them because of the way the flange is connected to either of them. The EGR valve on yours is fed from the back (firewall) manifold. The cheapest I have found is around 300 to 350 dollars and they are NO FUN to get to if you plan on doing this yourself. All my luck to you.
