What is the life expectancy of a catalytic converter on a 94 Honda Accord?
It should last the life of the car if you maintain the car as you should. Let the engine start running rich and do nothing to repair this condition and it will destroy the converter. But keep the engine tuned up and running as it should and you will never have to replace the converter. NEVER had a problem with my 1996 HONDA ACCORD engine and CATALYTIC CONVERTER needed to be replaced at 220,000 MILES.

How do you replace the catalytic converter on a 2003 Malibu?
There are two available options to replace the catalyticÊconverter. Option one, buy a universal converter that is the right size for the car. Cut the old converter from the exhaust pipes and weld on the new one. Option two, buy a direct fit converter that can be bolted in between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe. No welding is needed but the direct fit converter costs more than the universal one.
Is a catalytic converter needed in a 1995 Saturn?
Yes. According to Federal law, catalytic converters must be maintained for all vehicles on which the converters were originally installed. The catalytic converters burn any fuel that was not completely burned in the combustion cylinder, making the exhaust considerably cleaner. Removing the catalytic converter is a violation of the law, and while your vehicle can operate quite well without the catalytic converter, you do not want to pay that fine.
