Try removing the O2 sensor and squirting or pouring a lot of water into the cat. If the initial shock doesnt shatter or clog something, running the engine for a while to dry it out afterwards should. Then again, kerosene instead of water would probably work also... should be fun to watch anyway

>> Hey all,
>>
>> A Dakota owner in Ontario is within 3000 miles of warranty end
>> for a cat replacement. His cat is making noises but not enough
>> for an Ontario dealer to declare it as failed and won't replace it.
>> He has had failed rear O2 sensors but doesn't know if his cat
>> condition has contributed to this.
>>
>> He has had a tough time getting by the NOX on the clean air
>> test. I don't know if this is because of the cat's condition or
>> some other reason. It sounds like the cat replacement warranty
>> will run out and his cat will fail shortly afterwards :-(
>>
>> Question. What ways are available to him so that he can quickly
>> kill it without leaving any visible signs of tampering so that he
>> can get them to replace it before the emission warranty ends?
>>
>> I can think of gutting it completely but can it be done without
>> leaving visible signs? If so, what's the best way to proceed?
>>
>> Another way is get raw gasoline into the cat but this seems
>> dangerous. Any comments on this?
>>
>> Hoping the collective DML can come up with something devious
>> as usual :-)
