To replace the catalytic converter on a 2001 Chevy Cavalier, start by safely lifting the vehicle and securing it with jack stands. Disconnect the exhaust pipes from the catalytic converter using a wrench, and unbolt the converter from its mounting points. Remove the old catalytic converter and install the new one, ensuring a proper fit and sealing any joints with exhaust gasket material if needed. Finally, reconnect the exhaust pipes and lower the vehicle, checking for leaks before driving.

Chevy dealer, auto parts store, etc.
Brown and Brown in Mesa Arizona is charging me $1300.00 to replace the catalytic converter and fuel filter.
probably but it will sure start stinking.
That would be the O2 sensor located in the exhaust system after the catalytic converter.
There is 1 before and 1 after the catalytic converter.
Like changing a muffler Remove flange at front of converter Cut or remove clamp at rear install new
Two. One on the bottom of the exhaust manifold and one after the catalytic converter on the exhaust system.
Perhaps: Fuel filter Air filter catalytic converter
If a catalytic converter is indeed bad, it's far more cost-effective to replace it rather than try to repair it
That is a good possibility.It also could be running lean and causing it to smell that way.If it starts running poorly or wont accelerate then you will have to replace it. Need 2 find out why IT's running Rich.
