Catalytic Converter Issues
Catalytic converters can last for over 10 years but may become contaminated, clogged, overheated, or physically damaged. This may lead to slow engine performance and potentially even engine shutdown. Leaded gas, although rarely found in the United States, can destroy a catalyst. Engine coolant can leak into the combustion system because of a faulty cylinder head gasket. Engine oil is another culprit.

Catalytic Converter FAQ

A chemical reaction occurs inside, which is started by a catalyst material, usually small amounts of a precious metal like palladium, platinum, or rhodium.

Catalytic Converters and Your Needs
November 4, 2016
Fitting a Catalytic Converter to Your Vehicle
When looking into emission systems, you want to know what type your vehicle has so we can be sure our catalytic converter fits your system effectively. Here at Hurricane Automotive, we have a two-step system for ensuring that you know your emission system. First you need to determine whether your car was manufactured to CARB or Federal Specifications. The label to help you identify emissions systems your vehicle has will be one of three places:
- On the front radiator supper
- On the strut tower plate
- Under the engine hood
The second step is to know the EPA regulations for your state. The type of catalytic converter you need to purchase will also depend on where your vehicle is registered. Some states have different rules, so be sure you know where you’re registered before you select your catalytic converter to purchase. If you have any questions, please contact us and we will help you with all of your catalytic converter needs!
