Cat converters
How do cat converters work?
Established as a legal requirement close to 20 years ago the catalytic converter converts harmful gases into safer emissions. Because the combustion process is never perfect dangerous emissions such as nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons will arise.
The catalytic converter will convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide; hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water; nitrogen oxide back into nitrogen and oxygen.
How can cat converters fail?
• They become clogged
• They get poisoned
• The engine has bad exhaust valves
• Plugs fail causing unburned fuel to overheat the converter
The Solution: We can replace your damaged cat converter with a standard cat or with a hi-flow cat converter in under 1 hour!
What are hi-flow cat converters?
Our hi flow cat converters have a greater surface area than regular converters creating less restriction and hence a better flow of gases. They are available in mild and stainless steel. A new hi-flow cat converter will be a welcome addition to your exhaust system with the potential to maximise its current output.
