Red Hot Exhaust / Melted Catalytic Converter From: "content22207 <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 1 Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2002 18:45:30 -0000 From: "content22207 <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Red Hot Exhaust / Melted Catalytic Converter Am on Xmas vacation, so this is first time I've seen list all week... It is indeed possible to melt the guts of a honeycomb style catalytic converter. Not sure why (stuff has consistency of ceramic), but I did so when my car ran too LEAN (remember guys: fuel cools. Until Martin G's PRV man diagnosed my re-tuned, hence over-advanced engine -- still getting used to life without a carburetor -- was so rich I could actually hold exhaust tips in my hands). Telltale sign of stopped up converter is glowing exhaust AFTER the the thing. I think it's heat from added resistance. Do you live in an area with emissions testing? You'd be amazed how much restriction a converter puts on exhaust flow. And even when properly functioning is unreasonably hot.
