What is A Catalytic Converter?
A catalytic converter is a device which chemically converts harmful exhaust gasses, produced by the internal combustion engine, into harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor. The converter was developed to meet stringent emissions reduction levels as set forth by the Federal E.P.A. and California Air Resources Board. Since the 1975 model year, vehicle manufacturers have used catalytic converters and emissions control devices, to meet those emission reduction levels.
