How much should it cost to hollow out a catalytic converter?

Until my husband can afford to replace his catalytic converter he needs to have it hollowed out (I guess to prevent fire or something?)





Anyway, how much should that cost for a mechanic friend to do this on the side?|||What you are asking is illegal.|||Well, anyone that can weld can simply cut it open, and punch it out.





The problem comes in why we have catalytic converters. It's because of pollution. So, it's actually illegal to do that and to own a car like that.|||Most shops are not even going to discuss this with you because of the legalities. Its done everyday but something you need to do yourself.|||If you are able to get to it by taking off the pipe after the cat, just get a metal bar, inside the cat is a honeycomb of material that heats up, just take the bar and hit it with a hammer to break the inside up. It will break into chunks. You dont have to get it all out just as much as possible. Then whatever pieces that dont come out just start up the car and hit the gas a few times and the air pressure will blow out all the broken up crap. If you can remove the pipe after the cat, its not a difficult procedure.|||The other option is a cat test pipe [called that for legal purposes] which is basically a replacement for your converter and is still illegal. If U can remove the cat it's a cinch to replace [temporary] with a test pipe and they are cheap. This way U can actually tell if the cat is bad and if not U don't have to fork out big bucks to replace the cat U poked out and found your problem was still there!
