This article in Wikipedia explains everything pretty well: Catalytic converter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thanks, that sums it up pretty much what I am going to do. Like I said earlier, thanks to everyone for the responses.

A very good thread to read and I always pay close attention to the posts from mazdarangerguyinstl. From what I've seen I'm debating on doing a maintenance replacement of the upstream O2 sensor on my 97 with the 2.3 since I bought it used and it is now at 106,000. Any advise or hints appreciated.
