Re: How hot does the catalytic converter get?
I have a crack along the bead weld by the flange that meets the exhaust manifold. The whole converter is in real good shape so I am trying to avoid replacing it to save a few bucks (they are costly). Anyway....... I was thinking of using a cold weld patch for now......... it can take up to 600 degrees F. So all in all.......... thats why I needed to know. So if anyone can give a real answer.. shoot. Thanks.

the exhaust gasses leaving your engine are in the thousands degree range

Don't expect said patch to last more than a few days. You can get a cheap highflow emissions leagal cat installed for less than $200-$300 I think.
And yeah, there is only 1 catcon, after it you have a reasonator and then finaly your muffler. (factory)

Re: How hot does the catalytic converter get?
The First Cat Is Part Of The Collector Pipe..... This Is Obviously A Obdii Car.
Catalytice Converters Can Get In The 1800 Degree Range, Double To Almost Triple What The Standard Exhaust Gas Temps Are. And Exhaust Gases Are Under A Thousand Degree Unless Its Turbo Charged Or There Is Alot Of Restriction. My 350ci Sbc Exhaust Is 600 Degrees At The Tail Pipe.
