Catalytic converter

[LedFloyd900]

Bought my '92 3VZE almost a year ago, and I'm slowly replacing everything I possibly can on the truck, and today I decided to do my catalytic converter (and am I glad I did!). This is just to simply remind everyone (or those who haven't replaced theirs) that you may want to check yours out, because mine wasn't so good :wow:

oh man you are scaring me, I havent peeped down in mine.
I wonder if that's what fuel dumps into exhaust look like, or was yours the truck with lots of water ( throt body sludge) ?

on the other hand, what are we looking at ? down through two discs of catalyst substrate?

I aint a mathpetician, but sure looks like running an iron rod down the center and a little shake out would get that thing breathing again in a jiffy !
