I don't believe my car is a Califonia car. No floor temp light and no "C" or whatyever it is in the VIN that indicates a CA. car...

So what is that thing that looks a lot like a Cat converter midway back in my exhaust? It has some raided letters stamped in the metal from the inside and sounds pretty solid when I knock on it.

If it is a Cat Converter, what will it do to the performace, good or bad, if I remove it? We don't even need emission tests here..

Thanks!

resonator

OK, what the hell is a resonator? Never heard of it? Can they go bad? Any benefit to removing it?

Being from California originally, I just assumed it was a Cat converter...

Thanks!

glasspack then. :-D It keeps the exhaust note toned down. It might sound great with just a muffler only, but after a while it will really start to bug you.

Thanks Darrel....I will just leave it be...

Click on this link and read the npage, then you will know. *end some time reading more on the subject at the same place, too..

thxZ

does it have a 02 sensor after it? if so I think i have the same thing too, but if it is a catalytic converter and i take it off will it affect how the engine runs because of the 02 sensor????
