CANADIAN CAT ON U.S. VEHICLE? 850 1995

Hi Everyone!

Will a catalytic converter from a Canadian 1995 Volvo 850 be okay to put on a United States 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo? Are all catalytic converters made the same for all Volvos? Also, can my turbo take a cat from a non-turbo? My friend is from Canada and is putting on a performance cat. His is in great shape and I need one. I live in Massachusetts and I know they are strict on emissions here.
Sure would like to get this free stock cat!!!!!!!! If you can offer me any answers here, I sure would appreciate it!!!!!!!

Thanks!

    Just went to FCPGroton... $269 for a turbo and $239 for a non-turbo. Guess they are different.

    Do a google search for a cat and you will find new for less than $300. I used them on my 2 850s as they both failed MA inspection on the same day . Ouch! I believe Foreign Auto parts in Beverly sells for about the same price.

    US & Canadian catalytic converters should be identical as for the pollution control but I think the mounting flanges are different because there's no rear oxygen sensors on canadian models from what I've heard sometimes ago.

      Hi Dennis,

      Thanks for your info! I really appreciate it!

      Can you tell me if this cat will fit on my 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo or should I just buy a new one? I don't want it to be a big job to have to change everything around to fit this cat on.

      Thanks!

      Laurie
