the 96 and 97 have an emmission extension up to 150,000 miles, not
lifetime. it's part of the 814 program. i do this every day.

as for the o/p just go to a muffler shop. cats are federally
regulated, they have to work as originally designed.

Hey Chip, you seem to know what you're talking about, what about a 99? I
have just over 140,000 km on mine and the manifold is cracked, is it under
warranty?

Thanks, Randy
