Cat Convertor?

Hello all,

My cat convertor is getting really loud, and is smelling a lot. You know that nasty smell. Anyways if I were to beat the "F" outta it would it get quieter. What can I do other than replace it to quiet it down? What is the cause of the smell? Anyways hit me back yall.

Later,

Bart

If it smells, you need a new cat because it's busted annd you can't repair cat converters.

^If you remove the cat and you have an o2 behind the cat, it can trigger the engine light to turn on.
