Will drilling holes in my catalytic converter make it louder?
Why is it illegal to drill holes in a catalytic converter?
The catalytic converter is an important part of a car's emissions control system. The device works by converting harmful pollutants in the exhaust into less harmful emissions. Drilling holes in the converter can cause these harmful pollutants to escape into the atmosphere, which is why it is illegal in many places.
