I was forced to replace my entire exhaust (bad kharma, I ran over a dead deer), and the shop used an aftermarket converter ($200.00 vs. $980.00 for the OEM from the Saab dealership) In less than two months, the ceramic cracked, the thing totally plugged up, and now it's back being replaced under the warranty. Is there something special about the OEM that this one doesn't do... causing it to fail prematurely? Of course I could've just gotten a defective one the first time, but... Any ideas?
