Hi,
My '98 XLT 3.0l appears to have three catalytic converters - 1 in each downpipe, and one immediately behind where the two downpipes join. Under the hood it says this is California emissions.
The flange at the rear of the rear cat has disintegrated, and I doubt it will last through the winter, so I want to replace it.
I've been trying to find a direct-fit cat to replace it, but only seem to be able to find dual rear cats (see Magnaflow Model 23541.)
Does anyone know:
a) Where I can get a 'direct to fit' single cat that looks just like this (except the rear cat would be missing, just leaving the front one)
b) If I fit this dual cat (in place of my current single, but with the other two still up front), whether I will have any problems? (especially with emissions)
Thanks in advance - though I don't often post here I'm always 'lurking' and have found a lot of great advice here - keep up the good work!
