Cat remove, opinion wanted
Hi group,
1992 Dodge caravan, 2.5 automatic, 335.000km Recently the cat started rattling. It seems it's loose in the casing. Dealer want big€€€€€ to replace it. My idea: since my car is running on propane and since propane is a relatively clean fuel, how abouth just removing the cat from it's casing and driving without one. Will it harm anything? Will I risk failing smogtest? Thanx for all the input Timo |

Remove the CAT and get a really long drill bit and drill the sucker out,
then put it back. I agree there should be reason in this case that this will harm anything. Plus, when they look underneath, it appears the cat is still there and functional.

If your in the US you could get a BIG fine and possible jail time for
removing a emissions control device. And you would fail testing since the missing cat would be easy to spot during the visual inspection. -- Steve "Timo Wildschut" > wrote in message ... > Hi group, > > 1992 Dodge caravan, 2.5 automatic, 335.000km > > Recently the cat started rattling.
