That and about 30 other things that came from it. Its the wrong thread to get into it but I will say this I would love to hang a catalitic converter from my car if that is all it was and all that was needed. But it would have to be one of the first designs with big ball barrings in there with the catalist stuff sprayed to it. That allowed air to flow freely and thoroughly over the catalyst to burn up the CO and HC. But it didn't work that way so they added air to the thing and O2 sensors to lean out the fuel mixture so that cat can burn the fuel up and restricted the air flow through the whole engine so that's where the power loss comes from.
When in reality my a well maintained engine with no emmission stuff has lower outputs than a choked up engine with a bad catalytic converter. With very little CO2 I might add. But like all government ideas if it doesn't work one way keep doing the same way and expect different results.
ETA: I drive a 66 mustang with no emissions crap on it and I haven't had it tested at envirotest but when I pass the sniffer thingy on 8th avenue it says I'm doing good. This is with the new 5.0 that I put in there. With the tired old 6 banger that was in there with a full tune up and no tricks used it had lower emissions than my 85 blazer with every dirty air fixer that the .gov could saddle GM with back in the 80's. And if one goes bad your whole truck will stop or emit some bad emissions. Bad gas is what got me last time. Made the NOS to high. And nobody fails for that one. And the dip**** kid working there blew up my starter and pushed my truck out of the building like sorry it must have been your fault. And I had to get towed home. Did everything they could to blow off responsibility for it too. The whole thing is a scam IMHO.
I can't believe I hijacked a thread about zombies. I'm going to hell for this one. Anyone see the walking dead internet only short films? It has a great ending about one zombies struggle to become a zombie.
