    Removing of Catalytic Converter

    Dear all,

    Intend to remove my catalytic converter becos got some "rattling sound" when rpm reaches 1,500 when slow moving traffic, can hear sound loud and irritating.

    I realized that by removing the converter, I am contributing the harmful exhaust emissions to the enviroment. sorry Earth

    Please advice any brothers/sisters who had done this b4 on their E39 and do it make any error reading.

    thank u for your valuable comments/advices

    bro,

    yeah, recommended by Happy Motor also. becos HAPPY suspecting catalytic converter damaged. furthermore, change to "ori" converter cost about 4k...

    did yours also sound "rattling" at low rpm and remove the converter kills the problem??

    thanks

    I changed them because of leakage. Initially plan to weld and seal the leakage but after pursued by Poh Aik and the boss in exhaust shop, then just go ahead to cut the converter.

    good morning t2,

    i did done this b4 about 8years ago. removing the converter from my Waja. until now (the car almost 10years with me), the car still feel very powerful. only contributing harmful emissions to Mr. Earth

    for the udm, mostly (mechanics/owners) says it feels a little bit more power becos once remove the converter, the exhaust flow direct to the end without any "blocking" feeling the same with my Waja.....
