Catalytic Converters
Posted by nattidk (more from nattidk) on Thu, 12 Oct 2000 14:07:14
I need some education -- what's up with catalytic converters?
Specifically, I have a '93 9000 Aero, with 119K miles on it, and was
wondering when/if the catalytic converter would need replacement, and how
to determine if it needs replacing; if it plugged, the car certainly
wouldn't run, but do the chemical properties that do the work 'wear
out'/decay? And, is there a simple life-span/replacement period specified
by Saab?
Additionally, if I replace it, has any had any experience w/after-market
catalytic converters (if available)? And, if so, what pitfalls/design
issues are there related to non-OEM converters (re: HP, backpressure).
Thanks in advance!
'86 900 SPG, sold at 150k miles (miss it)
'95 900S, sold at 65K miles (don't miss it)
'93 9000 Aero (like it a lot)
