Default Catalytic converter warranty?

I have a 2005 W 60k miles with a rattling cat. With it seeming to be one witll they replace the whole Y-Pipe or try and do only the one?

And being I have a Radix with a WB o2 sensor bung, What do you think?

80K or 8 years? Correct?

You are correct the warranty is 8/80K on cats. They will replace the whole y-pipe. Being that you have a blower and a WB O2 though you might have a hard time getting them to warranty it. It depends on how big a dick they want to be. Most dealers would tell you to take a hike.

It's 8/80K if it's not modified. If you have a dealer in your area that's cool about performance mods, you might get lucky. Or maybe you have a buddy who is the service manager at the dealer?

Good luck to you.

I called a dealer and told him of my rattling cat on my 05 at 60k miles . He says bring it in it's covered. I said when would be best. He said we are really slow right now c'mon in.
I said let me explain and told him of the Radix. He says no problem at all. Heh! I then told him about the wide band bung and he said we will take care of it for $30.00.
I dropped it off making sure it was warranty covered or no work other than the bung. Its being done as I type.

Wow! I'm surprised. I'm glad you were able to get it taken care of under warranty. That sure does save some money.

I just got back and they did not add the bung. I did not ask why as I was just glad to see the $0.00 numbers in the papers and the GM original equipment replacement y-pipe.
They bagged and tied my o2 out of harms way. I'll be in the muffler shop in the AM.

Didn't know that, here I thought 100k / ltd. lifetime. Is this for OEM cats, Roger? Cause Dynatech more or less said, tough ****.

No, I was talking about the factory cats. From GM, the cats and PCM have 8 yr/80K warranty with $0 ded.

Dynatech warranty = your favorite credit card.
