quattro Digest, Vol 4, Issue 136

[Brendan Walsh]

a "bad cat"(sound like a dirty movie;) won't really cause any trouble unless 
those bit start getting caught in the exhaust. they can actually clog things 
up and cause all sorts of power issues. best bet is to take it down and 
either replace it or clean out the rest of the bits ad weld a straight pipe 
in. the pipe will help even out the flow and reduce the "pingy" noise 
somewhat. just make sure te upstream side is fully sealed . you only need to 
tack the downstrean in 3 or 4 places to keep it from rattling.
regards
Brendan

My 1987.5 CGT started puking out bits of catalitic converter matrix out the 
tail
pipe. Pretty large chunks at that. No clue why, I haven't hit anything. Will
having a "bad" cat cause any real problems? I would think not, and that all 
it
could do is give me a pony or two from being freeer flowing, but I've never 
had
a cat self destruct before... They don't do smog testing here, so that's not 
a
worry, but I don't want it to cause any damage... Thoughts?
