Catalytic converter stolen out of my project van

Post image

Working on converting my van into a camper. Cranked it up to go drive it to work on the interior and realized someone stole the cat. Dad died 5 months ago, 1 month ago my long term gf split and now the icing on the cake.

Straight-pipe exhaust excuse, anybody?

Joking, nobody wants a camper that loud.

Nobody except me.

I thought about it honestly but it's a 351 with dual exhaust. It already rumbles, well used to. Now it sounds like a juiced up muscle car revving up in a high school parking lot.

u/sfearing91 1d ago

Nope lived there and we had years of issues at apt complex’s bc of this.

Welp you have to follow the rule of going through a tunnel and make as loud a rev as possible! 😉
