That's why the original cat was left on the car, and everything aft of it was replaced. Saab also ran emission tests with both a new cat and the original one and claim they got the same emission values. As I do no longer trust this particular dealer/repair shop as much as I used to, I will probably take the car to the testers to verify the emission levels myself. In the meantime, the car's running fine again, and that's the most important thing. Thanks to all for your advice! /Robert
