Re: How many miles do cats fail at?

My cat (V6) failed at about 223K, when the DICs failed at highway speed, as Swedecar describe. At the time I was able to get the two DICs from Autozone, SEM/Saab shipped from Wells for about $500 for the pair (Repair center wanted $450 each).
The Cat was a challenge, and because many on this board had very mixed success with aftermarket Cats throwing codes, I searched pretty hard for an original. Challenge was worse because my car was due for inspection, and wouldn't pass emissions without a new Cat.
I got lucky in that the Volvo dealer across from where my office was then located happened to have one sitting around from when they were still a Saab shop. It cost a pretty penny then, but I'm glad to have it done and over with as OE parts became more scarce.
