Does my catalytic converter look okay? I have it taken off for inspection and I attached a few photos of the inside. I'm not sure if it's okay to drive on or not. Let me know what you think!

Yeah it's not cracked, but could it be clogged? I just replaced my ignition, but before i replaced it all of the parts were completely fouled and when i started it i revved it up a little bit and let it warm up, then shut it off. Then i looked at the cat and the O2 sensor on it was glowing red. I just installed the BHR kit and haven't started it up yet because i wanted to see if the cat was fine to drive on. Could the O2 sensor be glowing just b/c the ignition was bad, and if so now I've replaced the ignition will it be okay now?

well, the first layer didn't crack, u can always shine a flash light thru it to see the inside, or just take the whole thing down and shake it, if stuff falls out or u near noise, it's probably shot inside.

if u had failed ignition, ur cat will glow red, cuz ur engine is dumping fuel into the cat.

Okay great, thanks for your help.

Mine looked pretty much just like that at first glance... I wasn't convinced if it was clogged or not just like you, so I pulled it out from under the car, shined a light through and noticed many of the holes were blocked, then finally poked at it with my finger and it just crumbled... So I gutted it.

I did the same. Tried to look through with light source and didn't see diddly. c
Couldn't see through it. Touched it and it disintegrated. Second layer was gray with deposits.
