Anyone have an angle on a replacement for the right side cat?

Re: Catalytic Converter
Step 1. Remove old catalytic converter
Step 2. Install new catalytic converted
All jokes aside, are you talking about the passenger front cat or rear? For the front one I would think just drop the X-pipe, unbolt it from the manifold, then bolt the new one in and reinstall the X-pipe. for the rear cat, just cut it out and weld a new one in.

Re: Catalytic Converter
What happened to yours Bosco? Still within any of the federal emissions warranty limits?
Re: Catalytic Converter
I thought the cat on right side was bad. Was making a lot of noise but was loose. I was thinking replacement but it never caused a code. I am at 83k on the miles so my warranty is over.

Re: Catalytic Converter
Was one of the mounts bad? Or just loose at the joint?
Re: Catalytic Converter
Just loose at the point. My other problem is the noise that made me check it is actually coming from my trans. But the motor runs great and the trans shifts nice. My torque converter may be going south.

The cat converters should have 10 yr / 100k warranty.Bosco wrote:I thought the cat on right side was bad. Was making a lot of noise but was loose. I was thinking replacement but it never caused a code. I am at 83k on the miles so my warranty is over.

Re: Catalytic Converter
Hmm, I'd check a couple of other things, namely, the accessory belt tensioner and A/C compressor and pulley. The compressor is known for taking a dump at the most inopportune time, and a failing tensioner can make quite a racket.
