Ian, please tell me you wore a dust mask when you did this! Cats contain an extreme concentration of just about every nasty known to man. Its a good idea to soak the inners first in water to hold down any contaminants flying around while cleaning out.

(my previous cars never had such an item) I removed front end of converter and with hammer and big screwdriver I smashed up the catalytic stuff then sucked it out with vacuum cleaner and bingo it goes up a hill like a V8 AND I can drive from Tamworth to Byron on a full tank of gas and keep driving for a few more days. My friend said no worries with Holden and no catalytic converter as computer does not require same.
