Do I need an exhaust header?
Hello folks,
My son has a 97 850 wagon (non-turbo). It looks like the catalytic converter rusted through where its outlet pipe connects so we're probably in for a new exhaust front to back. That's a little painful but we'll get through it.
What concerns me is that the cat is hanging from the front. On the header, before the mounting flange there is a wrapped part (looks like a small baseball) that flexes when i lift the converter. I don't know if this is normal or not. Should I be looking for a new header as well as the rest of the exhaust? I tried to look it up on VADIS but am getting no info there.
Your help is much appreciated.
