California car and I can get a CARB compliant cat that will bolt up and I will also replace both oxygen sensors. I've done over 10 cat replacements on my 240's, but I'm about to do my first on an 850.

All words of wisdom are appreciated. Thank you, gents

    Just a caution, the 850 program for engine management is quite strict and aftermarket cats are known to loose effectiveness after a year or two.

    Too bad you can't get a newer cat from a junkyard.

    Put the O2 sensors on before you bolt on the cat, and use anti-sieze. Remember the wire routing for the rear sensor.
