I have an Extended Warranty from Nissan (100K miles bumper to bumper). It says that it covers everything unless the part/system is listed under the What is Excluded section.I have been told that I need a new catalytic converter. That part is not specifically excluded from extended warranty coverage, but the exhaust system is.So my question is, does the exclusion of the exhaust system mean that the converter is also excluded ?
Ceramics are more fragile and they become discolored.I'd go for metal
The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust system so it would actually be specifically excluded. What kind of bumper to bumper warranty excludes exhaust? As you're figuring out, there are some costly parts down there. Anyway, here's the catch. Catalytic converters are required by law (in the USA) to be covered by the original vehicle manufacturer for 8 years or 80,000 miles. So, if you fall in that category it's covered by your regular Nissan warranty--head to the dealer. Kyle must have his part names confused, the cat most certainly is part of the exhaust system--everything from the headers to the muffler tip is the exhaust system.
dint think so the catalytic converter is an emissions part, the exhaust is an outlet for the fumes to go to they are two totally different parts talk to your dealer, also depends on the mileage of the car it shouldn't go out within at least 3-4 years if that i had the same one on for at least 4 years before mine went bad but there should be a number on the warranty information, call that number
