When does my converter need to be recycled ?
- Cars need clean air flow. The muffler side pressure of the converter should allow a good air flow. If the pressure is low or zero when the car is running, then the catalytic converter could be clogged with engine pressure. This is dangerous as it causes growing and backing pressure up towards the motor.
- Start the motor, check to see if there is good air flow coming out of the exhaust pipe.
- Test the air pressure in the front and in the back of the catalytic converter. You can view this video to see how to test pressure : Watch Video
