I was told by a performance muffler shop owner that I should run some cat cleaner thru from time to time.. I was like *** ?!?!?!
He says those emission pass additive you see at some auto stores ( that you pour into the gas tank ). Those are catalytic converter cleaner.. he says obviously it won't CURE a broken catalytic converter, but will clean a proper working converter though...
first time I heard of it.. so I thought I"d ask BITOGers' bout the validity of it.
On a side note.. I spoke to two different muffler shop owner before.. one says when a new cat is put in.. you have to baby it for bout 2 weeks ( no WOT runs ) to make sure it breaks in correctly, the other says.. BAAA.. throw it in and drive however you like, no break in process
