 Subject: v6-v8 use the same cat?
IP: Logged
Message:
does anyone know if the late model 5.2 dakota uses the same catlytic convertor as the 3.9 ? I just want to find out if the stock cat is really causing a bottleneck in the exhaust for the 3.9.

What year ?
How old is cat ?
-=- may well be same ' size ' !
But-=- that does NOT mean that yours is not
restricting the exhaust !!
If it has about 100,000 mile on it and still
original = Change it for an aftermarket new one
They are LESS restrictive ...

...it's a 2001 3.9 with 85k miles on it, but I'm not sure that helps with what I was asking.
If the same part number is used on a 5.2 then I can't really see how the cat would be restricting a wee 3.9.
For a 2001 dakota, does anyone know if the same converter is used for the 3.9 as the 5.2?

Did you forget that a 3.9 is a 5.2 with two
cylinders " cut-off " ?
Listen to exhaust , feel with your hand !
As above - any doubt at all - get it replaced
Let that ' little ' 3.9 show you what it can
really do...........

there were no 5.2's in daks after '99. so, probably not.

So if that cat is specific to the v6, then I am to assume that the stock cat is probably restrictive to that motor. Off it goes! I've got two more cats upstream of it anyway. Thanks for the info

You should be able to use any aftermarket Cat with the same inlet/oulet diameter as your stock.

There's a bracket on my stock cat that attaches inboard to a rubber mount. If I put a pipe in it's place, I will be eliminating that bracket. Is this structural, meaning will my exhaust shake too much an cause future problems?
