what are the disadvantages?

Post by 93-Spec-Edn »

Hi

WHat are the disadvantages of driving a car without the catalytic converter? I have been doing this for the last 50,000km.
Also would u get string fume smells without one? Would u loose low end power?

Thanks

No damage to the engine. But the car will sound like poopy.
