Catalytic converter





I'm trying to take off my catalytic converter without having to cut it but I'm struggling to get it off. It had nuts and bolts that kept it together but I'm starting to believe one part was welded on. I don't think it is but it's not coming off, any tips?

Re: Catalytic converter

You have to heat the pipe cherry red where the clamp pinched it, so itll expand and slide off
