Can anyone suggestion where I could find a new Volvo catalytic converter? 850 1996

Chris,

I am a coward! I would be afraid to attempt that remedy. My private mechanic has told me I would be better served putting a used Volvo catalytic converter than installing a new aftermarket unit. Of course, with most of the "available" used catalytic converters in in excess of 20 years old, that too may come with some risk. So I haven't given up on finding a NOS Volvo catalytic converter out there somewhere. After all, "Hope springs eternal".

If you decide to try your experiment with the screws, let me know how it works out. I maybe "right behind you".

I have another 1996 850 GLT wagon (also a manual) the catalytic converter on that one rattled too and was replaced with a new Volvo catalytic converter. I think it happen once I went over 250,000 miles. It was up there in terms of mileage when the rattle started. I still have that 850 too (427,000 miles). The 850 I'm focused on now has 360,000. As you can guess I have a bias for Volvos.

Chris thank you for your response.

Hugh
