Could be an ignition problem -- the unburned fuel will burn in the
catalytic converter. I'd expect lots of black smoke in that case, though.
Regardless of the original
I guess I probably need to cut the cat out and just install a straight pipe.

No smoke at all except the first few minutes it initially started. Not
enough to cause any damage though. Will probably removed the thing
since its now a euro anyways.

If that doesn't work, you might check the ignition timing (which you might
do anyway before removing the cat). Severly retarded timing will

What I do is go to advance auto parts buy a $50 generic Catalytic converter
and take to muffler shop. Pay the guy $20-$30 cash and he installs it. It is
much easier and more legal than gutting a catalytic converter or by passing
one.

The abolished this and don't have any vehicle inspection. If you get pulled
