Melted Catalytic Converter

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

It was not misfiring.

[zloben9000]

lesson is FIX YOUR MISFIRING CLUNKER before installing a new cat.

[dildertoy]

fuck the cat!

[TTooMM3311]

Fuck the cat Straight pipe!!!

[MrGizmo757]

if they get hot enough you can shove a garden hose up your tail pipe and the guts in your cat will explode into little pieces. then you remove the pipe and dump em out. this works on packed mufflers too. like a thrush or flow master. just don't let the water make it as high as the manifold. if that cracks your fucked. the older guys that remember the 70's muscle car era know about this trick. it was very common back then for gutting mufflers.

[Learnthethingsido]

Ya those ones are made with Aluminum Like a Beer can type aluminum. CHEAP

[TheCaptainLulz]

cat for 50, the platinum in theres worth 25. take it to a scrap yard and get some money back.

[mmaaxx1198]

I doubt the cheap cat has any metals in it but it might be worth while to get the platinum and palladium out of it if it does.

[ArmenianProductions]

Just take the convertor out. It slows down the exhaust anyways. 

[ImDiscombobulated]

That's not a melted cat. It's a broken catalyst honeycomb and is common in crap cats or offroad vehicles because of the breaking apart of the honey comb. Pieces get lodged in the muffler after blown through. Can be highly restrictive when lodged sideways and clogging the port.

Just get rid of it.

[rthom86]

just knock all the stuff out of the cat and then weld it back into place.

[voodoodogdoodoo]

You can always run straight pipe through a hollowed out converter shell.

[jacktharipper3]

haha so n/a is okay?

[Verb1037]

I dont know about gas engines but on our diesels you wont those off ASAP, all they do is rise EGTS and casue issues. I would image the same for a gasser, some of these people just sound stupid.

[sofasteddie]

I just removed my cats altogether and put on a testpipe in it's place, then got a o2 cel fix from bigdaddiesgarage com to pass emissions and keep the check engine light off. Cheap, Simple and easy plus you get better acceleration and added HP and man it sounds great.

[TheDanish1988]

that depends if your car is modded. If i took the cats off my mustang i'll loss power because of back pressure from the cats.

[jorge10928]

50 bucks? lol i spent around 300 on mine and its still going strong! :P

[HollowPointzz]

is that a universal catalytic converter, and how long did it last?

[kkgtyf]

usually no "retune" is necessary, just a re-positioning of the o2 sensors. and if you go turbo, itd be better to not stick with a cat of any type

[Trent25346]

Im going to gut mine soon

[oipbhakeld]

problem w/ cats is, the engine is made to run with them on. if you take them off, you dont get any more horsepower unless u retune your engine. its made to run w/ specific back pressure and o2 sensors are made to read pre cat exhaust and post cat exhaust

[bigtrucks44]

that is only if you have 2 o2 sensors, I took the cat off of my 92 f-150 and I actually got a few more horse out of it and saw a mileage increase, but it only has 1 sensor

[Axenmoon]

is this a real tv ad?

[sterlingnobles]

I got stilliens high flow cats for my G and i replaced them twice cause they melted

[blueblade455]

Screw the enviroment! Catalytic converters rob horsepower! Ha haaaaa!

[banstaman]

I suppose when you get a ticket, you were robbed. What about those high flow catalytic converters? Don't those increase horsepower?

[TheDanish1988]

no they just increase the flow of the exhaust for better flow.

[bod93]

do you need a catalyic converter

[TheDanish1988]

on a stock or lightly modded car yes. If u take them off u will loss back pressure and lose some horse power.

[kreigsmann]

what!?

thats exactly the opposite of what they do!

[darkeyce02]

@TheDanish1988 wich increases horse power

[MrJsowa]

@darkeyce02 no it will be a decrease

[darkeyce02]

@MrJsowa nah, cars gain power with less restrictive air flow... my truck has more torque and acceleration since ive taken mine out.

[MrJsowa]

@darkeyce02 what kinda truck? and did you throw any sort of tune at it?usually with a cat removed youll lose a lil low range torque,but yes you will gain a lil back at high revs

[darkeyce02]

@MrJsowa 4.3 s10

[jayguy173]

lol thats what you get for 50 bucks

[Halogen360]

Lesson learned here. Don't buy cheap converters. However, if it was me, I would have just removed the cat altogether.

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Yeah but i want to stay legal as much as possible ;)

[Halogen360]

Well, I suppose it depends on where you live. Where I live, they don't do any kind of vehicle inspections for emissions.

[blueblade455]

Lucky you!

[knaussbrad]

@Halogen360oh cops

[critical000]

That happened to me when my timing was off. unburned fuel ignites in the exhaust.

[hvguy]

ive seen this happen even on oem cats. even the toughest cant stand up to the rotary getting its ass kicked.

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Problem is when you gut a cat it sounds like uber poop. Resonator on the way.

[91tt300zx]

take that honeycomb out and put the cat back on

[tuor1984]

Lesson learned: In automotives, you get what you pay for.

you woulda been better off gutting your old cat

[ms0254j18]

gay

[anewlow23]

Just converter the car to electric and stop all this gas burning nonsense to begin with.

[milehighmudduck]

Do you drive an electric car?

[anewlow23]

The closest thing I can get is a go kart with the whole money issue but right now I am putting together a new frame for it the acceleration is going to be BITCH! and I think people really apathetic about the whole issue.

[Holgazan76]

Bust out that honeycomb with a broomstick and let that motor breathe!

[almyman]

so pointless

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

go play with your toy cars

[bmwrp8]

looks like an overgrown sugar cube inside!suweeeeetttt

[phatmax88]

LOlllll
