Haven't checked it for sure, but last time I looked, I think both the cat and the heat shield are gone. This car had been used for '4 wheeling' in some seriously rugged terrain at one time. This was a $100 parts car that I sort of accidentally ended up driving. There is only a straight pipe connecting the exhaust manifold to the rest of the exhaust, and that turbo puts off some serious heat. I also have a portion of the center console removed, so the heat tends to come right into the car...
Guess I'm not exactly the average Saab owner. I've taken an interest in these cars primarily due to the brilliance of their engineering. Unfortunately, both of my cars are surviving testaments to the quality of the original design, and not much else. I'm continually amazed at the durability and lifespan of these cars. Yeah, they are both beaters by normal standards, but who can complain about 30 mpg, fuel injection and a turbo? I figure when it starts raining day in and day out, it'll help keep the interior dry *grin*. Then again, the environmental fairy might come along and push me into some sort of responsible spending on a cat. It'll get fixed as soon as I can afford to do it, or I decide to transport my children in it, whichever comes first...
