if it is under warranty and the parts not labor are free from defects then it can be rewelded. if it is defective than a new exhaust will be installed by welding it in place

Where is the catalytic converter on a 1996 Ford Taurus?
Catalytic converters are located up towards the front of the exhaust system - typically right after the pipe comes down off the engine's exhaust manifolds. If the vehicle has a single exhaust system, there will be a "Y-pipe" bringing the two exhaust manifold pipes together - the catalytic converter will be just past this. If the car has dual exhaust, there will be a catalytic converter for each.
2003 Chevy Trailblazer loss of power and surges?
It might be the catalytic converter has overheated and had the honeycomb inside melt together.
Do I have to weld my catalytic converter or can i just bolt it together?
Depending on the year, make and model you can probably purchase a bolt in or a weld in cat.
Looking for a diagram of the catalytic converter - exhaust system on a 1988 f250 the exhaust was customized to have two pipes going into one catalytic converter do you need two for emissions?
Actually it probably wasn't customised. That is how they were made. The two sides go together right at the cat converter. There is a four bolt flange at the interface between the crossover pipes and the cat.
Does a 1991 ford explorer have only 1 catalytic converter?
On my 1991 Ford Eplorer v6, both pipes coming off the exhaust manifold join together then behind that there seems to be two catalytic converters inline one after the other.
How do you tell if the oxygen sensor is before or after the Cadillac converter in a 89 Honda prelude?
There IS an oxygen sensor BEFORE the catalytic converter and that's the one that typically needs to be replaced. Not all vehicles have a second oxygen sensor after the catalytic converter and of those that do, it almost requires physical damage to the vehicle to damage the rear sensor. The front oxygen sensor screws into the exhaust manifold, typically right where the exhaust comes together into a single pipe. It will be a screw in device that looks similar to a spark plug and it should have 2 or more wires out the top. If you crawl under the car and look you will know for sure.
What components make up an exhaust system?
An exhaust system is comprised of a catalytic converter, resonator, muffler and oxygen sensor. Each of these components work together to dissipate the gases created by the engine.
How do you replace 1997 Tahoe catalytic converter?
There are two converters on this vehical. They are connected to the y-pipes and come together at a common flange. They should be replaced as one unit. Unbolt the spring bolts at the exits of the exhaust manifolds, unbolt the common flange--3 nuts and bolts. Remove the Oxygen sensors. Install new gaskets and bolts

I think your catalytic converter is clogged cut it out and see if that makes it better if not clamp it back together.

How do you change the catalytic converter on a 2000 Kia Sportage?
It is part of the exhaust system and looks much like a muffler. Like any part of that system, it is able to be unbolted from it's mounts and connecting pipes and replaced. However, like any part of a muffler system it is very commonly too rusted/worn/heated together for this to be practically done without damaging the pipes, etc it attaches to beyond repair, requiring more parts to be replaced,to get best quality.
Where is your o2 sensor on your 1992 Pontiac grand prix 3.4 liter?
All oxygen sensors are in effectively the same place. Check the exhaust manifold then notice where all of the pipes come together into the head-pipe. The O2 sensors should be right there. Look for the thing that screws into the exhaust and has some wires connected. If you have a 'V' configuration engine there will be 2 O2 sensors. Many vehicles also have an additional oxygen sensor AFTER the catalytic converter, which, as the description suggests, is AFTER the catalytic converter.
