Which consequence results when a catalytic converter's porous support structure becomes heavily fouled by silicone?

💡 Explanation

Fouling reduces flow through the catalyst, because pore blockage reduces the surface area available for reaction; therefore the gases have less contact time with the catalyst, rather than enabling increased precious metal dispersion.
