Catalytic convertors

Catalytic converters are an integral part of the exhaust system of vehicles with petrol or diesel engines.

They are designed to help reduce harmful emissions such as hydrocarbons and NOx, as well as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

They work by converting the toxic components of exhaust gas into harmless, odourless gases.

When shopping for catalytic converters, it is important to consider the type of vehicle, its age and miles, as well as the purpose for the vehicle (i.e.

commuting, racing, off-roading).

Additionally, it is important to match the catalytic converter and the exhaust system properly.

The right converter can help your vehicle to run more efficiently and save you money in the long run.

Look for catalytic converters that have been designed and manufactured to OE standards and have a high-temperature tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

Q: What is a catalytic converter?

A: A catalytic converter helps reduce air pollution by burning off any unburned fuel from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine.

Q: How does a catalytic converter work?

A: A catalytic converter contains a honeycomb-like structure coated with a catalyst material, usually a metallic oxide. The internal combustion exhaust is given here and the catalyst helps the pollutant molecules break down into less harmful substances, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor before they are released into the environment.

Q: What are the benefits of a catalytic converter?

A: Catalytic converters help reduce air pollution and improve air quality by reducing emissions of harmful pollutants such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. They also help lower fuel consumption and increase the performance of the engine. Furthermore, catalytic converters reduce noise pollution, so they are beneficial for both the environment and people.
