Decanting catalytic converters

[Shawn618]

Hey guys,

So
I went out to a flea market and got 2 cats for like 60bucks,
Went home and cracked one open.. Now I'm not too sure which model this one initially was,
But it's from a GM car.. Iv done a bit of research on this and I know the difference between the honeycomb and the ball baring converters but the one I opened up looks a bit different so im just a bit confused on which step to take next.. I would like to move on with incinerating but I don't see any hydrocarbons in the "honeycomb" structure.. I'll post a picture
Thanks a lot

Those look like foil converters.

Hey Jim,

I think your right I was doing some research of my own and this is a metal
Core catalytic converter.. Not sure if I should proceed as usual or of it requires special treatment .
