I think mine is faulty. The fuel consumption is unusual on the high side and it rattles when i start it. Pls how much will a new one cost for a 2001 Camry model? |

erico2k2: You are right. As a matter of fact it increases fuel consumption by increase in drag. The car runs faster without it, just dat the exhaust is noisier (sounds less muffled). The essence is just emission control. So in Nigeria where emissions and pollutants are everywhere, dat is non issue. In some countries, it's a crime to drive a car without cat, cos of emissions. 1 Like |

Removing the catalyst increases the turbo of the car but can also lead to high fuel consumption because the o2 sensor will be giving wrong readings to the on- board cpu thereby fuel air ratio will be off. This can be corrected by deceiving the 02 sensors by adding Spacers/adaptor /extender. 1 Like |

ogmask: Very well said. I share in your opinion too after my exhaustive research. It seems mine was removed as well. |

spawnx:There is a way to fool the O2 sensor to give an accurate reading or with a good scanner, you can calibrate it to do so! |

Nwaohafia1:Says who? |
Re: 4 Typical Signals Of A Faulty Catalytic Converter by Nwaohafia1: 5:29pm On Sep 07, 2019 |
