car exhaust converter Masterclass: 7-Proven Tips

What is a car exhaust converter and why it matters

A car exhaust converter is a crucial component in a vehicle’s exhaust system. It contains catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions to reduce harmful emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC). At Catman, we source high-quality catalytic converters from established suppliers, ensuring a minimum 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.
