My advice is to take it to a muffler shop.
They are required for smog.
No, it will not run correctly and besides it is illegal to remove the converter.
There are not two catalytic converters. Working towards the muffler from the flange, you have a RESONATOR, a CATALYTIC CONVERTER and finally a MUFFLER.
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.
No, replace the converter with a new one. Anything else is illegal.
remove it then install new one
in the exhaust manifold right before the catalytic converter
You can remove it and put a pipe there, or you can remove the exhaust pipe and drive a piece of pipe through it if it's clogged up, but beware of the EPA laws. The check engine light will stay on if you remove the converter and the vehicle will not run correctly. It is illegal to remove a catalytic converter.
Should be right before the catalytic converter. Mine is a 1988 and that's where it's at.
How many catalytic converter are on a 2005 Ford Taurus
The check engine light will illuminate and you will fail an emissions test.
No it will not run correctly. And it is also illegal to remove the catalytic converter from any vehicle and it carries a stiff fine if you are caught.
