Got a 2003-2004 Volvo? Your Catalytic Converter Might Be Worth More Than You Think!

 If you're replacing the catalytic converter on your 2003 S60, XC70, or 2004 S60 2.5T, don't just toss the old one! Depending on the model, your scrap catalytic converter could be worth 

$50-$300+ to recyclers—especially the T6 and 2.5T versions, which often have more precious metals.

But if you're installing a new catalytic converter, be warned:

• California-compliant models (like the 2004 S40 for CA) cost way more than federal versions
• Aftermarket cats for the 2003 S80 T6 or 2004 S60 2.4 can be hit-or-miss—cheap ones often fail within a year
• The XC90's massive converter is a pain to replace (thanks, tight engine bay!)

Pro Tip: Always replace O2 sensors when swapping cats, and fix any engine issues (oil leaks, misfires) first—or you'll be doing this again soon!
