earlier post inquired about cause and effect with suspicion symptoms indicated a clogged cat....pulled cat off....indeed the material inside had turned to dust and chunks....installed new cat....all is well again!
removed 4 header bolts....remove 4 bolts on cover plate...remove "c" clamp connector[2 bolts] on rear of cat...remove 2 ox sensors...... new oem style cat $274.00 total time...2 hours. how much does a dealer charge?
regards
Make sure you look into *why* the cat melted or you'll be out another $274 when it melts again.
ya suppose it might have something to do with the 107,500 miles traveled-10 years in age?
regards
The cat on my 760 lasted as long as I owned car (close to 200K miles in 12 years). 107K doesn't seem that much in terms of cat life.

everything is relative. regards
Shouldn't, with a properly functioning engine a cat should last indefinitly. The only time they clog is if they're mechanically damaged or the engine runs rich and overheats them.
I've heard that over time the use of oil additives loaded with zinc can screw up a cat. Dale P...........
