Was letting the 2006 H3 warm up, it was 5 degres, and I noticed exhaust coming from the middle of the H3.
I crawled under. There is a tiny hole in the middle of the catalytic converter.
It is NOT a rust hole. Looks like a 1/8th drill bit size.
I am assuming this is normal. Anybody else notice thge hole?

Sure its not the muffler or the resonator as they both have drain holes for moisture. Cat should have no holes.

:iagree: Mine drips condensation, sometimes blackish water during warm up thru hole in muffler/resonator...

Normal, it is supposed to be there to drain the water. You're probably seeing the resonator and not the cat.
