I have had my catalyst converters stolen twice! Both times police didn't get anywhere so I'm just leaving something like this on for a year and a half till I gotta do an emission testing again I live in colorado so I rather run the chance of a 250 ticket for no cat than pay 900+ instalation for another cat that will be in danger of getting stolen again, thanks for the video!

Had mine stolen last week from my 2003 Ranger. Actually mine had 2 in the piece they stole. I dont want to put the money into replacing 2 catalytic converter in an almost 20 yo truck and every place I've called no one will replace it with a strait pipe. I'm told they cant modify my exhsust system. I tell them the crooks modified it. Oh well. I'm going to try your repair but on a more permanent basis since this year, here in Washington state, we have stopped requiring emissions when we liscence our vehicles. Glad I found your video. Thanx

Just happened to my 2006 Nissan Sentra S over the weekend. My RV was also ransacked, but that's another story. Anyway, I saw a video of a guy who used flex pipe and U-Clamps as a temp solution on a jeep. I was thinking about doing that until I looked into it and there's a lot of issues with Amazon's best-seller flex pipes due to them not being treated. Would doing this instead be a good temp solution until I can get it replaced?

This just happened to me, was it hard to find a pipe with the correct ID since they are usually measured by OD?

Hey just happened to me, you won’t find the part in California bc it’s “illegal” to have an aftermarket cc here unless you meet certain requirements, but even so it is costly but you are better off getting a carb complaint part out of state like Nevada hope this helps

Writing from Canada this happened to me this morning and I was thinking to put just a pipe. Thanks for this video that gave me how to do this job. Do you have any increases noise because of missing cat? How about check engine light? Thanks again.

Defiantly caused an increased noise with that pipe cut like that. But putting that tempory pipe silanced it just fine. No check engine light on mine...but i only had upstream O2 sensors...meaning that there were no sensors on the rear-part of the catylitic converter. If you had sensors on the down stream parts of the pipe..then u might get a check engine light.

After replacing my missing converters with two and a half inch straight pipe the majority of the noise came through the pipes was thinking about putting the key rap on the pipe to deaden the noise

How do you actually connect the pipe? Can you explain in layman's terms for someone who knows absolutely nothing about that kind of stuff. What method did you use to actually connect the new pipe to the existing parts of the car? Is it just taped on or welded on or screwed on or what? Thanks in advance
@Azariah287

The pipe is connected to the remaining exhaust pipes by "exhaust pipe by exhaust pipe or exhaust manifold sleeves". These sleeves are round and have bolts in them. you connect them and then bolt it down by those things that you see at the far ends of the exhaust bite. Mine are 3 inches in diameter. I put the over the ends of the exqust pip and bolted them down. You can find these in some auto parts stores, and definitely online like Ebay.
