What Is a Catalytic Converter?
A catalytic converter is a critical emissions control device that transforms harmful exhaust pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide into less toxic gases. Modern vehicles rely on this technology to comply with environmental regulations introduced after the 1965 National Emissions Standards Act. To explore different types of catalytic converters and their applications, visit our dedicated guide.

Inside every Catman catalytic converter, you’ll find:
