[Shotimes] exhaust question

[Mark Mucher]

Shilo,

When you say you checked your cats, what did you mean?

Is there a procedure for doing so? (other than an emissions test, which we
don't have...)

Thanks,

Mark

I have 195,000 on mine. They sure LOOK original. Maybe they aren't, but I
don't have any records showing if they were replaced. The cats still seem to
be in good shape when I checked them a coupla months ago. I'm just happy
with it the way it is, so I'm just gonna leave well enough alone.
