A partially clogged converter will rarely prevent you from driving the car. You can usually drive it indefinitely if it is only partially clogged. You will however see a drop in performance and fuel mileage. Once the converter becomes completely clogged, which is will over time, it must be replaced. Also if you have state emissions testing it will fail with a bad converter. A bad converter is also polluting the atmosphere. Before replacing the converter find out why it failed. Also know that the converter may be covered by the 8 year 80,000 mile federal emissions warranty.
