Direct to fit Catalytic Converters come ready to install with all parts pre-welded. These are better for the DIY professional. Universal converters are cheaper, but require cutting, welding, etc. These installations are best left for the shop professionals.
A factory catalytic convertor can be mounted to the exhaust manifolds and muffler pipe through hardware fittings. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) catalytic converters will be a direct replacement and not requiring the cutting or welding of the exhaust system. In contrast, aftermarket "universal" catalytic convertors may have to be welded in or mechanically fastened on through screw-tensioned clamps.
1. So don't go cutting it off and selling it for quick cash. If you do that your vehicle will not pass an emissions test in areas where needed, and its painfully expensive to replace.
it could make it run rough bucause of the o2 sensor but its not going to hurt the motor other than running rough and use more gas
Yes
"Cutting a Covenant" means : Breaking the already made covenant. (Breaking the promise)
Yes it can
it does but only on the dino there is not a massive gain or feel but converters restict flow engines need to breathe
Well one example I know of is I have a 1995 cheverolet silverado with a 5.0 v8 and I heard that cutting of the cat helps give me 20-30 more horsepower. Not as much resistance for the exhaust to go through if you take off the cat with all the baffels and other things inside it. If anyone was going to put true dual exhaust system on their vehicle it would make it louder and better. Know that it is illegal to remove a catalytic converter from any vehicle. Also any vehicle with the OBD2 system will not run properly with the converter removed.
You failed to mention the year but I would suspect a plugged fuel filter or a damaged catalytic converter.
Yes, but it involves a cutting torch and a very large hammer.
no he was already dead when they cuaght him
