Cat for Vectra B SRi 150

littlegreyfella

Hi all

I'm looking for a catalytic converter for a Vectra B SRi 150. My car is 2001. If anyone has any suggestions of the best place to go, or of any second hand ones that I could buy, that would be great. Thanks 🙂

Ebay would probably be your best bet. There won't be many second hand ones around now.

If it's just a cat you need, why not go for a Magnaflow 200 cell high flow cat. Get it welded on.

That's what i'll be going for in the near future, when my finances improve a bit.

Got exact same car as you, same year as well.

Hi. Thanks for your recommendation. I did think I was pushing it was a second hand one. I’ll investigate one of the ones you say. I assume it’s just a separate cat that you just weld into place and keep the sensors either side or it?

Yes it won't affect any sensors already on the pipe. You just measure the diameter of pipe and get a cat a little bigger to fit over and weld it on.

genuine second hand cats can sell for well over £300 now due to the metals inside them for scrap :jawdrop::jawdrop:
Plenty of weld in cats about for way less money like said above. (y)
