Does it have a catalytic converter? It is a carburetor car with no ECU and no oxygen sensors.
It does have a big cylinder shaped thing coming out of the exhaust manifold (first photo)

The car in the second photo doesn`t even have one.

And please experts only not just throwing guesses.

I was previously told that it has an ECU with oxygen sensors. *FACEPALM*

Its called a thermal reactor
They are big and have a heat shield like a cat.
They don't die if you run leaded fuel in them
They were used by the Germans in the 70's
They reduce emissions
They don't require stoichiometry

Wrong again, I just checked in an exhaust shop who splits these things all the time, it is indeed a catalytic convertor, just with no sensors( it even has the holes for the sensors when it is equipped with them, mine just isn't)
Please always make sure you have the correct information and solid evidence before you post answers or "solutions" thank you?
