A little birdie once told me that if one was to cut open one's cat converter with a decent set of tin sheers or a dremmel stone bit with out fully cutting out a piece of the cat conv. in a "U" shaped manner, one could easily clean out the gunky grey-ish stuff clogging and choking one's exhaust system. By simply open newlyaccesed "U" shaped opening and scraping out all the filth and deposits the problem should be TEMPORARILY (until you can afford the $700+ fix) and VERY ILLEGAL, did I mention illegal?, because it is VERY ILLEGAL to get CAUGHT driving with an illegaly modafied catalytic converter. Now if one does not want to get caught with a "Jeri-rigged" cat converter, one would simply just wrap the affected part with 2-3 rolls of "High Temperature" muffler repair tape. By writting this I am not encouraging anyone to BREAK THE LAW, but rather offer an example of what a law breaking bird did for over 3 years and counting on his wife's SUV (STUPID USELESS VEHICLE) without any problems. Remember this is illegal and temporary.
This is a "typical" exhaust system: exhaust/ cat conv/ muffler
