Abstract
A method of manufacturing a honeycomb structure is disclosed wherein a green honeycomb body having a first contour is differentially altered such that the green honeycomb body has a second contour which is wider at a first end than at a second end. In one aspect, the altering is accomplished by removing a part of the green honeycomb body, such as with a removal tool. In another aspect, the altering is accomplished by exposing different regions of the honeycomb body to different drying environments.
