Increased fuel consumption

You risk polluting the ecosystem

You risk having to get your lambda sensors get spoilt in time

Your engine begins to run with a loud sound from exhaust tail pipe.

Your check engine light stays on permanently

Solution is to have your catalytic converter checked by a qualified engineer. A full diagnostic tester can also be used to check

P.s: do not allow a panel beater heat up a small hole to check if catalyst is intact. This process can cause more damage to the catalyst
