How do you know when a cat is bad?
I was getting code p0420 but the cat i took out dont look bad.
How much is a stock cat cost drivers side? and brade new O2 sensors
I need to get this POS to pass smog in california.

Now i have my buddies old stock cat from his camaro and it only has 15k on it but its dropping out a little silver dust. But its real shiny not like the cat stuff. I dont know were the hell the silver stuff is comming from.

FWIW in California I was under the impression the cats were warrantied for 100k
I know they are for 80k under federal emissions laws

So wait i can go to a dealer and get a new one with my old one? Or do i have to send it in and crap like that. Does it have to be the same dealer that sold the car?


And is a cat off a 98 camaro z28 the same thing as a 2000 z28 cat?

You ought to be more specific what the car is


Stock parts:


LS1 O2 oxygen sensor (98-02) (AC-Delco #AFS97), both RH = 25312196
LS1 O2 oxygen sensor (98-02) (AC-Delco #AFS98), both LH = 25312197

list price for each is about $130


LS1 catalytic converter (98-99 Camaro) = 12559244
list price is about $560

LS1 catalytic converter (00-02 Camaro) = 12562398
list price is about $440


Nope.

thanks alot.

SO a cat off a 98 z28 wont fit on a 2000 z28. damn it.

well the o2 sensors work.

And who the hell replaces the stock will any major dealer do?

If your car was made as a california car the cat warranty is only good for 7/70,000...ask me how I know

And don't buy a cat from the dealer.....they're a complete rip off. Thunder sells Random Tech high flow cats(both) and 2.5" Y-pipe for $600...I have them and the fit is great and so is the build quality... http://thunderracing.com/catalog/?ac...&vid=3&pcid=99

600$ for cats! Damn! What is wrong with the Catco cats?

If you do want the stock cats (rather than the aftermarket options available), you should be able to order them from any GM parts dealer. Local dealers, or online ones such as our sponsor SDPC: http://www.sdpc2000.com/search.asp?s...2398&doquery=1

If your OEM warranty is void then GM doesn't have to furnish new cats.

There's a seperate warranty under the federal emissions warranty....the cats are covered for 8yrs/80,000 miles....it's even in your owners manual, or just call the dealer.

I knew my cat was bad in my LT1 car when I would stomp the gas and not even spin the tires, started at about 90k. LT1's have a cheap cats though, so I went with Hi flow.
