Whole in exhaust causing high nox? 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Jason and Heather on  Thu May 10 09:02 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi!

Quick question? Does anyone recommend a good place to take an 84 Volvo to get a new cat. and part of the exhaust system replaced?

We went back to the emissions station, and our nox rose from 3.50 to 7.05. Yuck. I then took it to Midas and they said that we have a small hole in the exhaust right in the weld on the front joint of the catpipe between the engine and the cat. Midas told us our cat. is working fine, but we have our doubts.

1. Could this hole be the reason why we can't pass emissions, and our nox has gone up?

2. Any nation-wide chain known for doing a good job on this type of repair on Volvo's?

Any information would be wonderful!

Thanks so much!
