Cat Convertors......necessary??.....life expectancy??...............<<P I N G>>......Swinger
..
.. (the following was posted in another thread as a simple reply, I felt it needed it's own thread) ... ... <inline> .. .. ====== ====== From: 71swinger400 - view profile Date: Tues, Feb 28 2006 6:23 pm I will offer this, I lived in a state where emission tests were performed annually. During that time I had the opportunity to have a vehicle tested with and without the converter in place. On that particular vehicle emission levels were virtually the same with and without. Additionally, My suggestion is only a temporary means to determine if that is the problem. Further, a faulty (non-functioning) converter is not doing mother earth any favors either. The Big 3 have plenty of other options instead of using a part that is a definite failure item. No matter what every converter made will fail because they are designed that way. I get steamed that we the public don't see anything wrong with purchasing something that could be better but in order to keep selling cars they are made to only last a certain length of time. I not going to go on I think you get the drift. Oh if or when the super volcano known as Yellowstone national park blows you will have a lot more than emissions to worry about. ======== ======== Swinger, well....you should have made a point of telling the OP in the other thread that it SHOULD be used as a test, if that's what you intended to convey. .. no harm, no foul that's what discussions bring out. .. any whoooo...... I think you've hit on a good topic for discussion. So let's start a new war. .. .. .. I agree with you on the passing of emmisions without a convertor. I believe any mechanically sound vehical of yester-year can still be made to pass emmisions without a convertor. |
