2000 Cadillac Eldorado Catalytic Converter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the catalytic converter by replacing the muffler and tailpipe as a complete one-piece unit on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: A complete one-piece replacement of the Muffler and tailpipe is necessary to service the Catalytic Converter. Start the service by elevating and protecting the vehicle. Replace bank 1 sensor 2 by removing both the post-Oxygen Sensor and the post-Oxygen Sensor heat shield. To proceed begin by removing four nuts connecting the exhaust downpipe to the Catalytic Converter. Then remove center and rear Exhaust Hanger nuts and bolts that secure to the body before disconnecting the rear hanger from the rail. Before installation of the new exhaust system place the system on the vehicle and follow all guidance from the fastener notice in service precautions. Fasten the rear exhaust bracket onto the underbody then torque the rear exhaust nuts to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). Place the center Exhaust Hanger onto the exhaust system while tightening both exhaust nuts to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). The exhaust downpipe installation requires tight attachment of four nuts which require a torque setting of 24 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Installation of the post Oxygen Sensor (H02S) replacement bank 1 sensor 2 and post Oxygen Sensor heat shield should happen before the vehicle is lowered.
