So the platinum inside my catalytic converter is shot and now it just rattles around as i drive - PITA. 
How are the catalytic converters made? Could i unscrew it, open it up, get the crap out then seal it up again and Bob's your uncle? If i can't open it, can i get the crap out some other way? Cheers in advance! een. |

or take it out and chuck it and put some straight through pipe in instead. You can take them apart and take out the honeycomb or buy a new refill |

You shove a length of heavy angle iron up it, HARD. Repeat as needed until the bits stop falling out...

Every time someone destroys a catalytic convertor, a baby harp seal dies from carbon monoxide poisoning. How could you harm this?

You wouldn't want to harm this would you? Surely you jest.... I've seen footage of baby harp seals getting clubbed to death annually, but not seen them die from pollution in such numbers...
