94 Civic - how long does cat last?
I have 180k on the civix 1.5L LX 5spd sedan - I think I am the 3rd owner.
I am changing out the exhaust with an equivalent - I was curious - how long does the catalyst last? thanks Rocky |

Is there someone that can check it if I remove it from the car?

The samples that I've seen were obvious, tip it vertical, and the
innards partially will fall out. I'm sure that others here will elaborate further.

If the car has been neglected, it will last far shorter. If the car is neglected enough, the cat can clog, but that's a "worst case" scenario. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

well, he's gonna remove the cat-back exhaust anyways... you can actually shine a flashlight in thurr & if you can't see thru the honeycomb... clogged... coolant leaking into exhaust stream, excess blowby of oil, leaky fuel injectors leading to excess HC(unburnt gas)--- all these would shorten the cat & o2 sensor's life... -- ricebike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ricebike's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=361742 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=621017 http://www.automotiveforums.com |
