nobody knows what that is
if you do your not from earth
Guess i'm not from earth. No, it will not make it loud.
It will let the air flow more freely, and you can often gain
a small amount of power because of this. Just put another piece of pipe
in it's place and you're good to go.
YES IT WILL
yes and its illegal if your car goes through emissions
YES ! as soon as the engine was started , you would notice how noisy it was The catalytic converter(s) are in the exhaust system before the muffler , and removing the catalytic convertor just leaves an open exhaust pipe - extremely loud
Some symptoms of a bad catalytic converter on a 1994 Lumina are engine stalling, engine backfiring, no start of engine, and poor power pick up. If the catalytic converter has rust holes, the vehicle will also be very loud when running.
Are you referring to a loud exhaust sound? If so, it could be (Going from the engine back to the tailpipe) a cracked or leaking exhaust manifold - a leaking exhaust pipe - a leaking catalytic converter - a leaking muffler. That covers the exhaust system. If you are talking about a noisy clattering sound in the engine, you could possibly need a valve adjustment.
Yes, as long as you do not break any loud noise laws.
thae catalitic converter is pluuged
Normally no, you will not hear any noise other than a blowing sound under full throttle. You will loose power, have poor fuel mileage, and the converter may become red hot.
As loud as sound would be normally.
The ideal exhaust has no unburned gas in it. Since this hardly happens, a system to clean up air pollution was created. On the exhaust stroke of your engine, unburned fuel is forced out of your cylinder by the piston. That unburned fuel then makes it's way to the catalytic* converter. The catalytic converter basically gets hot to burn your unburned fuel and puts out the combustionally correct gasses. It is possible that your catalytic converter is the reason your van is spit and sputtering, but there are also many other reasons this could occur such as: timing vacuum fuel pressure air spark Signs that it could be your catalytic converter include: abnormally loud converter abnormally shaky converter hope this is somewhat helpful
You are dealing with 2 separate issues you need to look at. The pothole probably damaged a belt in the tire or knocked off a wheelweight or you might want to have the alignment checked. The blowing sound you describe is a plugged exhaust system. Either part of the exhaust system is smashed or the honeycomb matrix (the guts) of your catalytic converter are broken up. Hit the outside of the catalytic converter with a rubber hammer and see if you can hear rattling in your converter. Or possibly the Air tube has broken off the catalytic converter.
I just had mine replaced on an 2002 suburban....didnt take long to figure out what was wrong, it started making a really loud rattle and knocking sound you can bang on the upper exhaust and hear it. there is one one each side
