Hi all, Just had a long stretch of exhaust pipe replaced on a 1999 9-3 (turbo), and the repair shop claimed that they have indeed replaced the catalytic converter as part of the job. Judging from the condition of the various components on the pipe, I cannot see how this is so. We have, in order leaving the engine: 1. Turbo (replaced) 2. ribbed box (not replaced) 3. about 20 cm (8 inches) of cylinder made of wire braid (replaced) 4. another box, not ribbed, but looking suspiciously like a muffler/silencer (replaced) 5. a ribbed box again (replaced) Which of 2, 3, or 4 is the catalytic converter? I always thought that 2 would be the cat, but if the workshop is telling the truth, then it is item 3. Just that item 3 doesn't look like a cat to me . . . Tnx for all help on this slightly silly question. /Robert
