[quote author=hisgrace090 post=84894662]Last time after reading about the catalyst benefit I went to the mechanic to a certain the condition of mine only to find out that my car have non, I then paid for one and it was fixed and my fuel consumption reduced dramatically.

That is essence of catalyst . virtually all toyota brands has it.

I do clear for a particular importer and he emphasized that I should always check the catalyst after clearance at the port.

Those port thieves are so fast that they remove it within minutes and seal it back .imagine

I don't care what anyone says, the best luxurious car you can buy for Nigerian roads is the Nissan Murano. Strong, stylish and rugged.
I know two different people who owned murano and from their experience with the vehicle, i will never advise anyone to touch it even with a long pole.

No. One.
Most 6 cylinder engine (V6) cars require 3 catalytic converters. 2 in the two ports that join the exhaust to the engine and 1 in the middle port of the exhaust.
