Car tuning can be very different
Most often
vehicle acquires an individuality, technical characteristics improve, etc. But there is another tuning, when “modernization” can become dangerous for a car and its owner. For example, removal of a catalytic converter from an exhaust system.
At first glance, getting rid of converters unlimited does not affect the engine, on the contrary, it seems that the improve had become faster and more powerful.
Therefore, converters unlimited is cut out by a grinder, knocked out with special devices. What negative consequences can cause such a tuning?
converters unlimited is installed by autoproducer in or behind the exhaust manifold. Some motorists are sure that this is done only in order to be able to equip the car with additional oxygen sensors and reduce the power of motor. Naturally, this is not true.
If you live in post soviet countries of Eastern Europe, then you can use car without a catalyst. In Europe and the USA, one would have to pay heavy fines for violation environmental standards.
In driving without a converters unlimited there are certain disadvantages.
These include increased emissions of harmful gases, non-compliance with environmental standards, smell of gases inside the car, increased noise, probability of burnout exhaust system.
Nevertheless, there are many drivers who drive without a converters unlimited, especially this is common among owners of BMW, Volkswagen, Opel, Porsche, Mercedes, Lexus, Nissan, Honda, etc.
What can happen if you drive without a converters unlimited? And without a flame arrester?
It is more caustic smoke, noise, environmental damage. Many argue that driving without a converters unlimited will not lead to anything.
This is a mistaken opinion, because there are already dozens of cars with burned exhaust systems due to the lack of a converters unlimited.
