I have been told by several people that it needs replacing. the previous owner put an after market unit on the rig that is not up to specs. i want to replace with stock unit. how hard is this to do? do i dare try it myslef, or pay my trusty mechanic...   Perrone Ford (Perroneford) Member Username: Perroneford Post Number: 100 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 03:57 pm:    Stock unit? No problem. Just buy a new "Y-Pipe for $600, undo the three bolts at each exhaust manifold, and the couple at the end of the y-Pipe, and replace. -P   Ken Magee (Kennymagee) New Member Username: Kennymagee Post Number: 2 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 06:09 pm:    That simple huh?

Do a search on Yahoo for "rover catalytic converter" and it should pull up a few places that make the replacement Y-Pipes. You may have to order a new stud kit for the exhaust manifold as well (call Brit. Pacific if need be).   Eddie (Honu) Member Username: Honu Post Number: 95 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 11:54 pm:    i may want to pick up a new y pipe and cats or fairly new for my 93. where can these be purchased and at what prices...i will do a yahoo search too
