any benefits to having a new cat converter?

Featured Replies

I was going to replace the front and 2nd converter on my legacy wagon would I notice anything other then not having a leak from the 2nd cat anymore?

Depending on where you get the parts from, you'll either have to replace it again in two years, or you won't have to mess with it at all for a long time, if ever again.

You might notice a small improvement in fuel mileage and upper rpm power.

what do you mean about depending on where I get it?

 

It's a bosal part.

If you get an OE part from a dealer then it will likely last the rest of the life of the car. If you get an after market part from some place online then it might only last a few years and be plugged.

and I'm sure a single cat at the dealership is $500 for one
