Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / May 200691 Jeep Catalytic Converter
Is there any operational efficiency reason why a worn out catalytic converter should be replaced with a new one versus just a straight piece of pipe? Quite the cost difference ($200 versus $25) and there is no emissions testing around here so... TIA for any replies. It is still a federal violation to remove the cat, your choice. > Is there any operational efficiency reason why a worn out catalytic > converter should be replaced with a new one versus just a straight > piece of pipe?

Those cheap straight pipes don't last very long and you will constantly be replacing it if you keep the vehicle. Meanwhile, I've seen aftermarket converters for about $99. You could put one of those on and be done with it for a very long time. |
