Hi everyone,

Im from South Africa and we have problems with fuel quality which regularly blocks the Cat Converter.

so we removed it and i was wondering if anyone can suggest if there need to be additional fuel/air flow setting that should be changed to compensate for this mod??

Don't think so, but if you have a late model, with 2 oxygen sensors, one each side of the catalyst, then the engine warning light will come on, because it knows the catalyst is not working.

There must be a way to stop this.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

You can add a spacer under the rear O2 to move it up out of the exhaust stream.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
