it's not hard, it's just time consuming.

  • Thank you very much. Just did this and the shear amount of black that came out was amazing. Last year the truck barely passed and I gotta test again so I'll keep yall posted.
  • Cats are not designed to trap particulates. They are designed to promote oxidation of fuel that is not burned by an engine, thus reducing pollution.
  • Awesome video Dave👍❤👊😁😎 Tell Red & Kayla I said hello👋👋👋

    What i did, soak it up with acetone overnight, flush it with water - used my torch to heat it up and flush it with water - did that 4 times . Blow air using leaf blower . Voila - was able to unclog it

    I capped one end. Poured lacquer in. Let soak a couple days. Poured out laquer. Filled with Dawn soap w water. Let soak one day. Rinse. And boy, they came out sparkling clean like brand new cats.
  • I, set the welder up on high and burn out the insides were I can see threw it. Works great now.

    Like the cutlass, I've had several in my life, and three of them were '76 and '77. Such a fun and easy to work on car.
  • Long term fix is to use tap water. The hard Kansas water actually does a better job than the catalytic converter for cleaning exhaust gases
  • Question i scan my car and get this readinh code(P0420 TW catalyst sys-1 Ecm engine control) let me know which one of the oxygen sensor my catalytic i can see right through ot nothing is in it,i have a AD wagon 2012
  • So the catalytic converter is another source for burning the exhaust coming from the car right? What other ways could this be accomplished without using the chemicals they use in the converters? Say maybe simple coils like what's in a toaster? Something that could produce enough heat to re-burn the exhaust? Maybe screening condensed enough to glow hot from the exhaust, to re-burn the exhaust?
  • Good video but it has me wondering about the converters cut out of the mustang straight piping illegal in all 50 states lol did we straight pipe the mustang? 🤣 I'm probably going to straight pipe mine very soon. 99 Silverado 4.8 I just cannot afford to have it done legally.
  • Could electrolysis work?? 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚚 I just had a cat replaced on my Ford Transit 350. My fuel mileage went from 15 to over 18 mpg.
  • you first use diesel and then petrol for cleaning then again use water finally use air pressure or leaf blower it will be completely new
  • Can u reuse those cats 🐈 you cleaned ?? U said u didn’t have no use for them but could you reassemble it back to a vehicle or is it because it’s off that mustang??
  • Remove the cat and with a bar or small pipe smash the core, if its a metal type it will just crunch up and you can knock it out, ceramic types will just crumble and fall out easily. Either type the case will not be damaged at all and you can re-install. Never again any problems. Best fix I ever did to my cars.
  • Why not use the hose to pressure blast it out then just rinse it with distilled?
