Catback is shortened slang for "everything back from the catalytic converter". It is a bolt on exhaust which connects to the rear of the pipe holding the catalytic converter, and ends with the muffler and exhaust tip. In short, you need a cat to have a catback.
The catalytic converter in directly behind the engine. ( might need to use a flashlight ) It is bolted right to the exhaust manifold. The catalytic converter in directly behind the engine. ( might need to use a flashlight ) It is bolted right to the exhaust manifold.
Yes, legally and for the computer to function correctly you will need a catalytic converter.
Catalytic converters do not rattle. If it does it will need to be replaced as it may block the exhaust. Loose heat shield?
The catalytic converter is a sealed unit and must be replaced completely. A good mechanic or a shop that specializes in exhaust systems can do the job. If the entire exhaust pipe doesn't need replacing, the converter itself can be cut out of the existing exhaust pipe and a new one fitted in.
On a 1999 Toyota Corolla, the oxygen sensor is typically located in the exhaust system. There are usually two sensors: one upstream (pre-catalytic converter) and one downstream (post-catalytic converter). The upstream sensor is found on the exhaust manifold or near the front of the catalytic converter, while the downstream sensor is located further along the exhaust pipe after the catalytic converter. You may need to lift the vehicle or access it from underneath for better visibility.
You need a catalytic converter
u need to check your exhaust system i have never yet seen any diesel that has a catalytic converter installed
First make sure the car is cool. Then you will need to get under your Thunderbird and remove the clamps that hold the catalytic converter in place between two lengths of exhaust pipe. You will then be able to remove the converter.
On a 2005 Buick LaCrosse with a 3.8L engine, the oxygen sensors are located in two primary places: the upstream (pre-catalytic converter) sensor is positioned on the exhaust manifold, while the downstream (post-catalytic converter) sensor is located on the exhaust pipe after the catalytic converter. You may need to raise the vehicle for better access to the sensors, as they are typically mounted on the exhaust system.
On a 1998 Chevy Metro, the catalytic converter is located underneath the vehicle, mounted to the exhaust system. It is situated between the exhaust manifold and the muffler, typically near the middle of the car. To access it, you'll need to raise the vehicle safely and look for a cylindrical component connected to the exhaust pipes.
If there are no exhaust leaks or other codes, the catalytic converter has failed. You will need to replace it.
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.
