I've heard you can stab them with a long screw driver until the fux0r breaks apart inside.... does that work until i get a header? Or will that not be possible with this vehical?

 

^^punching out a cat, yes you can do it but the better option would be to just wait! lol. Patience.

PLus you are going to need more than a long screwdriver lol. More like a heavy ass iron/steel pole with a pointed tip and slam it down inside the cat multiple times. You'd be surprised how much platinum and honey comb pieces fall out.

WORD OF ADVICE! Do not breath the very very fine dust that will accumlate around where you are working. Do this away from people and outdoors. Dispose of pile of platinum carefully, Don't just throw it in a trach can and watch the plume of ash/smoke rise.

Or like i said first, just friggin wait mang.

NO
late 98's-00's have ONE Cat, right after the exhaust manifold (outside cali) ONE PIECE MANIFOLD AND CAT
All 01's had "cali emmisions", in Canada and US, and have TWO Cats, One after the exhast manifold, ONE PIECE and one after the flex.
97's(96 in Korea) and Early 98's had a non "semi-header" exhaust manfold (looks kinda like the 1 piece) and a separate cat. right after.

Mine 1997 year 2.0 KDM Tib has only 1 cat under the car (after flex pipe).

 

^^^
That's a Stock resonator
Your cat should be after your ex. manifold

OH wait, you could be right.
Man you got a rare breed!

^^ I know what is catalitic and what is resonator wink1.gif

I also have only 1 O2 sensor, and almost none catalitic cool.gif

 

European Spec Tibbies are probably different. You don't have all these semi-evil emission laws. Ukranians pollute the world. tongue.gif

 

I got only one cat myself.
