95 Riviera Cat Converter problem

I just bout a Riv. Someone Gutted the Cat Converter and Ran a straight pipe. Should I get a new Cat Conv, or just leave it? Its guzzling my gas and I hate the sound. I feel like I'm not getting enough power.

On all late model vehicle's if you gut the converter then your engine automaticly goes into rich running as the heated oxygen sensors cannot work as they work on the converters heat and the bad mone you get just make it worse REPLACE it and save a bundle in gas money plus do your part to help clean the airJohnny

SOURCE: press gas pedal... sounds like exhaust coming out of intake

it might be a clogged car , but did you do the simple thing and remove the fuel filter and try to blow through it ?

use a jack to force the muffler into position, or you may have to move the hANGERS accordingly

As long as the area you live in doesn't require emission testing, you don' need to fix it. It won't hurt anything. But you will have to stare at the light or put tape over it.

Can you get rid of the catalictic converter on a 87 2h dr 2.8 ltr truck

The cat converter is mainly for emission controls. If you are in a state that does not due emission tests like I do(MN), you can remove that cat conv with no problems other than a little more polution.

Catalytic converter stopped up. Pipes got red hot. Replaced Cat. Conv. car runs good, then started random misfires, pipes got red hot again. What is exhaust part that is downstream of Cat. Conv. could it...

If the exhaust system was plugged the engine wont run, normally. It will start and idle until the back pressure is such that it can't take in more air/fuel mixture and then stall.

After the converter, there may be a resonator, and then the muffler. Is any exhaust flowing out of the tail pipe? You might try hooking up a scanner and see what your oxygen sensor(s) is/are doing.
Also, scan the MAF(mass air flow) sensor assembly.
Sound like the engine can't breathe, and its getting to much fuel.
