Default ++++++Please Help me!!!!

So i have a warranty on emissions up until 150k. I only have 100k right now. Well my exhaust manifold and my cat are really rusty and pretty much restrictive now. They wont replace it until something actually goes wrong with it... is there anything i can do to make them able to replace these things?


Thanks

run your car for a while so the exhaust system gets really hot... then pour ice-cold water on the manifold/splash some on the cat. I'm prettythemetal will eventually crack if it's exposed to a lot of heat and then really cold temps in short amounts of time. Or maybe I'm just making up stuff again, I'm not really sure lol

(I know glass breaks if it's heated then cooled really fast... I'm pretty sure metal does it)

If it works, just tell them you were driving and you hit a puddle
