So i look under the car, and i think we all know where the usual muffler is located. The question i have is that in the middle of the piping, there seems to ba another muffler looking thing ...What is this? Is this an additional muffler to regulate the air flow or is it something else? Is it a sensor? What the hell is it...it looks like this..

Its the catylitic converter.

 

Thank you..so what happens if you remove it??

 

You will get about 3-5hp.. your exhaust will sound a lil deeper.

You will also get a check engine light... but ignore it

 

Will it cause your engine to fail or not shut off??

 

No... just the light

 

Okay i thought so...I know by doing so , i am destroying the enviroment...but who cares, we are all going to die one day!! hahhaha
Thanks

 

My point exactly

 

Don't remove it you fail the emission test and engine light will turn on.

there is a sensor on the CC. if you removed it the engine light will come on.

 

Depending where you live, new cars wont need a smog test for about 6 years. Thats how it is in California.
