Whats this emissions device?

I saw something that I dont know what it is on my y pipe. It is a small thing before the passenger cat i believe. Is it a precat or something? What does this thing do? Its shaped like a cylinder.

96-97s have two cats (and some 95s). One for each cylinder bank.

Re: Whats this emissions device?

really strange, you should only have one cat on each side. What year is your car?

If it's before the catalytic converter, it isn't the catalytic converter. Does it have a wire coming from it? You're probably looking at the bank 2 oxygen sensor.

That would be my guess too...without a more detailed description...

It's a stock "flex pipe". I'm not sure why they have them there but that's what it is called. It looks like a bunch of half inch disks stacked on each other.
