Bad cat...replacement source?
So on a recent trip my 1999 XC70 Wagon started losing power...and eventually I had to stop. Turns out the cats are shot and have severely clogged my exhaust system.
New cats are insane...like $1800. Any ideas where I can get cheaper? What about used? Also, what if I cut them out, hollow and replace? Will car run right? Its a good old car but not worth dropping a grand or more into for exhaust work. Any ideas/leads greatly appreciated. Thx! gz :D |
I would suggest a used exhaust from a u pull it junkyard. If you hollow out the cat the CEL will be on; plus,the guts of the cat are not easy to get at unless you cut the cat out and then reweld it back in. I haven't had too much luck with aftermarket cats.
