Can Cold Air Intake cause damage to Catalytic Converter?

[PJ]

From what I've heard the catalytic converter creates chemical reactions which have to occur at certain temperatures, if I have a cold air intake would it alter intake and exhaust temperatures and if so could this damage the catalytic converter?

You may be taking in colder air, but that really isn't going to change the operating temp of the engine all that much.

Cats may only work in a range, but its got to be a pretty decent range, for all the temps that cars are used in. I doubt you have anything to worry about.

lol, no. You'd have to be like Co2 Injecting the intake and Exhaust both ceramic coated and Cryoed to even start to throw the Cat off. Did u hear it from a ur buddy with the civic?
