A catalytic converter sometimes also known as a CAT is a vehicle emissions control device that converts harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions before they leave the exhaust system. Catalytic converters today are “three-way” converters reducing nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and unburden hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water.

Catalytic converters in cars use two different types of catalysts; a reduction catalyst and an oxidation catalyst. These catalysts oxide pollutants of the exhaust stream through a honeycomb structures. Common problems for a failing CAT are; overheating, matrix contamination, or a clogged CAT.
