This is probably an old chestnut but I need the info!

Need to replace the catalytic converter in my 1998 V70 20v (RHD model non turbo).

Need to know:

(a) Is it OK to use an aftermarket converter in Australia? (I can get a 3 inch one much cheaper than the Volvo part)

(b) Does any one have a "how to" or diagram of the exhaust system to guide me through fitting the replacement?

All help/suggestions etc. appreciated.

I would suggest getting one made for Volvo. Maybe one from a salvage yard. You have to get them quick.

 

I need a general idea of how to replace my catalytic convereter in 1998 V70. I dont even know where it is but am a good mechanic. The used car is new to me so any help is much appreciated.

My MOT garage foreman says its police spec?...but its metallic red!...it seems to be as fast as a Porsch!...it has a 5 branch exhaust manifold and a 3" bore straight thru exhaust and the catalytic converter is larger than any ive seen....is a T5 the same as a 25T any ideas?...
