djspawn00 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 For a detailed answer go here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_converter For a simple answer, it cleans up your exhaust making it less toxic. You need a functioning Catalytic Converter to pass inspection, a failed cat may trigger a Check Engine Light, and eventually lead to an Oxygen sensor failure which would also causes a check engine light. Do you currently have a check engine light on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With old cats the material can "crumble" and then clogs the air path. Therefore causing major air flow restrictions and yes, hurts your power output. Also may result in rattling.
