Identifying Saab Catalytic Converters for Scrap

How to Identify and Sell Saab Catalytic Converters with RRCats

If you’re scrapping a Saab catalytic converter and aren’t sure how to identify it, you’re in the right place. This guide shows you how to spot OEM converters, locate serial numbers, and get an accurate quote from our team at RRCats.

Typical Characteristics of Saab Catalytic Converters

Saab converters are commonly found in both main and pre-cat configurations, often depending on the engine type and model. Here are the features that help you identify them:

  • Construction: OEM Saab converters usually have solid, stainless-steel builds. The main cats are larger, while pre-cats are more compact and may be triangular or boxy.
  • Weight: Main converters tend to be heavier and often contain more precious metals. Pre-cats are lighter but still valuable if OEM.
  • Design: Many units include raised casting marks, rounded edges, and durable heat shields.

Serial Numbers and Stamping

OEM Saab catalytic converters can often be identified by distinct serial markings and branding. Here’s what to look for:

  • Location: Serial numbers are typically stamped into the body or cast into the heat shield.
  • Raised Branding: The word “SAAB” is often raised or cast into OEM converters.
  • Multiple Lines: Some Saab units have several lines of alphanumeric codes — the top line is usually the most important for quoting.
