Thanks, all, for your input on the matter. I wasn't entirely sure of the purpose of the catalyst up until this point and how varying operations affected it, or vice versa. The most interesting part was how a good mixture renders it unnecessary due to more complete fuel burn.
Once again, I appreciate your thoughts. No catalyst necessary :-)
Best regards,
Chris

Chris,
On a couple cars I've had the Converter plugged from to much heat, lead in the fuel, or something else I don't know. It reduced the power to about 1/3. Would that be enough to get you back if it happened on a plane? I'm not going to try to find out. Maybe the later ones were better designed to handle the problems in the real world and they might work. Just not on my plane.

Good afternoon all,
In this day and age of EPA, pollution control, green earth, etc., I wondered about the viability of an exhaust catalyst in an aircraft application. Are there any reasons not to use a catalytic converter in this capacity? Weight? Exhaust restrictions? Other?
Many thanks and looking forward to your feedback.
Best regards,
Chris
