If you are planning on doing this may I suggest you don't do it in the middle of summer in a place you are not likely to be found quickly?
Guy my dad worked with did this over the August bank holiday in his works car park a few years ago. He did it on the Saturday night after going to the pub and they didn't find him until the Tuesday morning. His body swelled up so much that the only way they could tell it was him was by his tatoos....
Not nice...

I need to settle an argument at work.
If you have a car with a cat converter, are you still able to gas
yourself with a hose pipe.
Strange question I know but we're bored.

Depends what you do with the pipe - put it on the end of a tap and you could drown yourself instead 
I would imagine that the stuff that comes out of the zorst is still nasty - if there isn't enough oxygen in the air, things are gonna get serious.
Hope you're not contemplating it though...

The killer part is carbon monoxide and I think catalysts reduce this, so the incidence of successful suicides using car fumes has fallen.
I still wouldn't reccommend breathing it in though.

No reduction in suicides since cataltsts in Australia, so seems I was wrong, above, although there is less CO in catalysed gases, they are still lethal.

I seem to remember that you can't kill yourself with exhaust gases if the car has a cat. IIRC there was a guy who tried it. He didn't die but was very sick afterwards.

The answer is **yes**. Cats cut down on a number of noxious gases (nitrogen oxides and sulfides mostly, and of course carbon monoxide) but leave behind the two biggest by-products of combustion: carbon dioxide and water vapour.
Its the CO2 that kills you -- you simply get sleepy, then lose consciousness and die through lack of oxygen. The trick is to have the smallest possible aperture to put the hose thru, and to close the fresh-air vents on the dash ;-)
