Cats Gone

Funny noise coming from exhaust. bad mpg also. If the CAT is buggered and i cant afford a new 3" downpipe with CAT just now (chequebook closed just now) would it be feasible to buy a secondhand one from a breakers or do you think this would be false economy. Does anyone know if a 1st generation 93 CAT would fit my 1997 900.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Nigel

depending on how long the chequbook is closed for, and the price being right at a breaker it could be a semi false economy - cars at breakers tend to be eiter buckets or write offs (as I a sure you know) cats being somewhat fragile as they are don't survice scrappers very well. that said if you pick one up for thirty or forty quid and get 6 months use, you aren't doing badly (i found mine at a place on t'internet called autobitz, a pattern part replacement for a smidge over £200

If you cant spring for a 3" with a Cat, with a 97 you can run without for a little while if needed and then any exhaust shop can weld in a cat for you. Thats actually alot cheaper anyway.
