Catalytic Converter

Does anyone know if my 2001 psd would have come with a catalytic converter? I took advise from a mechanic who also had a psd & had him put a straight 4" pipe frome the downpipe back. I love the sound & the power. My problem is that I don't know if he took the cat off & here in PA they are going to look for the cat on any vehicle that came from the factory with one. Needless to say, if he took it off, I didn't get it back. Could be a costly error. Anyone with an answer?

Hey Ace, My 01 did not come with a cat. I changed my exhaust out myself to a 4" from downpipe back and their was not no cat. I put a new flow thru muffler on it but wished maybe I had just run straight pipe all the way. Hope this helps.

I still have never seen an PSD with a cat. I know some of the 275hp 6-speeds had them in '01. My 235hp 6-speed and both of my friends 250hp auto's did not.

It seems that most of the manual tranny equipped vehicles have them due to the higher HP. My early 99 6 speed also has one.
