Q
does removing catalytic converter affect engine
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Removing a catalytic converter from an engine affects vehicle performance and environmental impact. Catalytic converters reduce harmful emissions by converting toxic gases into less harmful pollutants. Removing it can increase engine horsepower because it reduces exhaust backpressure, potentially improving acceleration and power. However, this comes with downsides: increased emissions, noise, and the potential to fail emissions testing in regions where such tests are mandatory. Additionally, running without a catalytic converter can change the air-fuel mixture calibration, leading to potential engine performance issues or even damage over time. It's also illegal in many areas to drive a car without a catalytic converter due to emissions laws. Thus, while there may be slight performance gains, the environmental, legal, and potential engine health costs make removing a catalytic converter inadvisable.
