can i just remove the plastic shield and not the whole unit...1994 trackerCatelictic converter....rattles and is noisy..plastic broken ...do i have to replace the whole unit?
if its rattleing its broken up inside. replace it . as for a plastic sheild there should "t be one anyware near it.
why the f is there plastic on your cadallydic converter? they get extremely hot, and actually must be at the hot temperatures to even work at all. If i was you id tear the plastic off, i seriously cant even imagine plastic on a caddy. they are supposed to be of metal, and lined with gold and titanium metals which are what removes the bad crap out of the exhaust, the very very hot exhaust. im a diy-er and a bit of a grease monkey and never have i seen plastic on or even around a cadlalydic converter, so if you think that is what is rattling or is wrong, pull that crap off and write whatever rot gut car company makes a tracker a nasty letter about chaep workmanship and horrible substance and design choices, WTF indeedCatelictic converter....rattles and is noisy..plastic broken ...do i have to replace the whole unit?
if jsut the shield is broken then yea u can replace the shield only...hard part will b finding the shield since junkyards take out cats to sell .....and dealer will want as much for shield as u can get aftermkt whole converter for.......only other option is to remove shield and leave it off...but do at ur own risk.....good luckCatelictic converter....rattles and is noisy..plastic broken ...do i have to replace the whole unit?
if its the heat shied rattling from broken tack welds, easiest solution is to either remove it or use a large hose clamp to resecure it. keep in mind the heat shield is there for a reason.
It is metal and called a heat shield grind the spot welds off or cut it off with tin snips.
Plastic? The cat is too hot for plastic
plastic on a cat?
