1996 850 GLT Catalytic converter/exhaust interchange

Post by Steve in Beacon »

I am looking to replace the catalytic converter and muffler on my '96 850 GLT--the connection between the muffler and converter is rusted out. My car has the air pump and the four-bolt manifold flange. Can anyone tell me what my interchange options are? I'd like to install used Volvo parts if at all possible but I gather there are quite a few variations. I'd appreciate all the help I can get, especially if someone has an interchange manual. Also, anyone with good parts to sell--I am looking to buy!

Thanks for reading!

Put up a WTB ad too, and bump it on occasion

I picked up a nice cat from one of the nice fellows here - paid the ask price, which he missed the email, and then lowered his price on the ad.

I honored the original ask, and was rewarded when the original cat held for a 700 mile trip, then dropped in my driveway. easy fix and no tow.

Kharma. It's whats for breakfast.
