Description of the problem | The honeycomb catalyst material is broken and can be heard to be rattling around within the catalytic converter. The catalyst within the housing will further deteriorate, break apart, and migrate into the muffler. Since the muffler is not shielded as well as the catalytic converter, this presents a very real fire hazard.*ak |
