No it will not run correctly. And it is also illegal to remove the catalytic converter from any vehicle and it carries a stiff fine if you are caught.
No.
Can? Yes. Should you? No. It is illegal to drive a car that came equipped with a catalytic converter without one. There is no benefit to removing a converter from a modern car.
The check engine light will be on due to the empty catalytic converters not being efficient. On 96 and up vehicles the computer monitors the efficiency of the converters. Not to mention "gutting" a converter is illegal.
No, it is illegal to remove the converter. The car will also not run correctly without the converter in place.
The Jeep CJ7 began incorporating catalytic converters in 1975, as part of new emissions regulations implemented in the United States. This change was aimed at reducing harmful exhaust emissions from vehicles. The CJ7 continued to use catalytic converters throughout its production run until 1986.
First off it is illegal to remove the converter. Secondly, your engine will not run properly with the converter removed.---That's not entirely correct. It depends on whether your car is pre-1975, or ALDL, OBDI or OBDII equipped.Prior to about 1975, there were no converters on cars, generally speaking.ALDL and OBDI cars have oxygen (O2) sensors before the converters, and only measure emissions coming out of the exhaust manifolds.OBDII came on line in 1996 (Generally speaking. Some 1994 and later GM models have a modified OBDII.), so if your car was manufactured BEFORE 1996, your car CAN operate properly without catalytic converters. But it shouldn't.OBDII cars cannot (without digging into the electrical system of the engine) operate properly without catalytic converters. OBDII cars have O2 sensors both before and after the converters, and the computer compares the numbers. This is why you have to have the converters on OBDII cars.But, as has been stated, if your car came with a converter, you have to keep a converter on the car.You can buy aftermarket performance converters that will allow you to pass emissions, keep your car legal and are less restrictive than a stock converter, but the performance gains are negligible (1 or 2 hp on average) and the costs are prohibitive.If your converters are functioning properly, keep them where they are. If the converters are clogged or have melted, you'll need to find out WHY and then replace them.
Yes.Yes.
Your car will not run better and you will get no better mileage. In fact you car will not run correctly without the converter as the ECU will not be able to adjust the correct fuel/air mixture properly without the converter on place. Know that is illegal in all 50 states to remove a catalytic converter. The fine is from $2,500 to $25,000.
Check engine light, low power, poor fuel economy, highly illegal to run without the catalytic converter.Check engine light, low power, poor fuel economy, highly illegal to run without the catalytic converter.
Sure you can bypass it. But know that it is illegal and the engine will not run properly when you do this.
Only if the exhuast is vented outside.
