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!
