He got behind the wheel N stuck his foot in it N said "you need a new cat".... I was driving it too easy N it clogged.
When they took it out a lot of rust N dust crap came out of it.
A new universal cat N muff cost about $150 well worth the performance you will pick up.

It's full of platinum coated pellets. Your exhaust enters one end, has to force it's way through the "crowd" of pellets, then out the other end. A miracle of engineering in it's time, but the later units with a ceramic core are much better flowing, and are still the design used today. The ceramic core is a honeycomb...like a fist full of straws...with a thousand paths straight through the cat. The ceramic is plated, and does the same (or better) job of cleaning with a fraction of the flow restriction.
Unless you are having issues, you don't have to rush to do it. But it would be a nice upgrade for your exhaust system. | | | Re: Hi all - about to buy a G20 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Yep, that's the old one Lister.

I tell you one thing I dislike about my van, is that my feet are size 13 wides (US) and I pretty much cant wear a shoe on my right foot because the pedal is so close to the doghouse and the brake pedal. it gets caught behind the brake pedal when im wearing shoes. Who did they design this for? not me. Good job im from Arkansas and dont wear shoes much hahaha 93 Chevy G20 Explorer

Usually have to tilt the wheel up. | | | Re: Hi all - about to buy a G20 | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,696 Likes: 172 Old Timer | Old Timer Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,696 Likes: 172 | to the site.
