What is a catalytic converter used for?
A catalytic converter is used to filter out the harmful gasses that vehicles put into the air. There are two way and three way catalytic converters, the two way cats are on diesel trucks and the three way cats are on gas vehicles.

How do you repair a clogged catalytic converter?
You repair a clogged catalytic converter by replacing it. A catalytic converter works by having unburned gasoline or some other substance touch a metallic catalyst such as platinum or rhodium. When the catalytic metal becomes covered over with garbage it stops working. When it stops converting the garbage to carbon dioxide and water, the small holes in it then become clogged. Then it will not let exhaust gasses pass though. No way exists to clean out a catalytic converter. They can only be taken apart and the substance used as raw material to create a new metallic catalyst. You can drive fast and blow the dirt off!

Would a bad Cadillac converter make your van spit and sputter?
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
What is the difference between high flow catalytic converter and regular converter?
There are no differences. High flow catalytic converters are not really high flow; the catalytic converters you have on your vehicle are as high flow as you need them to be. A "high" flow converter will either be of a larger diameter, or the inside is made in such a way that there is less restriction to exhaust flow.
How do you check a catalytic converter on 2000 kia sportage?
easy way is unbolt it and look thru both ends to see if it is clogged. Could have a bad catalytic converter but i would suspect O2 sensor acting up.

The sensor will be at the rear of the catalytic converter so that it can read hydrocarbon levels of the exhaust as it exits the converter.
Is it legal to remove the catalytic converter on a 2006 Chevy duramax in Texas?
It is illegal. The EPA requires all vehicles to have a 3-way catalytic converter that lowers toxic emmissions. The catalytic converter must also be made up of specific metals in order to qualify as legal in the U.S. Almost the entire world requires your car to have one.
