Yes
You bet it will. It will also used lots of fuel and have no power.
It s illegal to remove a catalytic converter.
An exhaust system is comprised of a catalytic converter, resonator, muffler and oxygen sensor. Each of these components work together to dissipate the gases created by the engine.
It will use more fuel if you remove the catalytic converter.
Its a better bet that your O2 sensor is fouled and/or needs replaced. You can go to AUTOZONE and have it tested for free. There are two; one in front of the sensor (this is the one to have tested), and a second between the catalytic converter and muffler. Don't make the mistake (sigh....) of finding that the sensor is bad and replacing the wrong one. The one in front of the catalytic converter is a bear to replace (usually) and if you've not replaced it, that's probably a good place to start. If that sensor is OK, test the back one. If both are OK, then you're looking at the converter. Good luck!
There are no different kinds of catalytic converters. They are all made with the same inner workings. The only difference is the outside casing, whether it is made to fit or not. There is even such a thing as a universal catalytic converter that some muffler shops use. They cut the pipes off of your old cat, and weld them onto the replacement cat to make it fit.
Check your catalytic converter.
It will make your truck a lot louder, hurt fuel mileage, and make the check engine light come on and it is illegal to do this.
The catalytic converter is typically located in the exhaust system, between the engine and the muffler. It is often found underneath the vehicle, near the front or middle section of the car. However, the exact location can vary depending on the make and model of the car.
drill holes in muffler
Yes, it most certainly can if the converter is clogged.
