Exhaust catalytic convertor

Wondering if I have a catalytic convertor on my vehicle.
1kdftv 2001 Prado.
See the attached photo that I took from underneath.

Hi
The Australian Haynes manual states that section of exhaust as 'Engine pipe'.
Doesn't mention a Cat at all. But different countries, different specs...?

That certainly looks like one and the 1kd hilux of the same era had one .

well got it checked by opening up the exhaust pipe, it is a hollow piece of pipe
(it may have been a catalytic converter in earlier life but may have been emptied out by the previous owner or it may have been a hollow pipe from the start)

Has anyone removed the cat on the 1kd ? Can it be done ?

I didn't know my swb 1KD had a cat ?

It's got a 3" stainless exhaust now so i guess i will never know
