Why does the 96 bronco 5.8 liter have 2 catalytic converters and can I replace it with one high flow and still pass emissions?
We have a 1993 Ford Bronco with 2 catalytic converters. Had one of the 2 replaced over a year and a half ago when we failed emissions. We passed with flying colors. So I say, it can be done.
Why are catalytic converters used?
catalytic converters are used to change the emissions of a car from carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, basically it makes fumes safer but adds to climate change. It also changes oxides of nitrogen (NoX) to safer molecules, and uses up any left over hyrdocarbons.(HC).It is used to reduce harmful emissions from the exhaust system.

If you install a new complete true dual exhaust system on your 1990 305 Chevy truck without the catalytic converters will your truck still run properly with everything else being original equipment?
Yes, it will run ok, but if you ever have to pass an emissions test or if you're ever pulled over and someone looks under the vehicle who cares about such things it could end up being a big fine. That isn't recommended.
What year did catalytic converters become mandatory in Australia?
Australia has had road vehicle emission standards for new vehicles in place since the early 1970s and these have been progressively tightened over the past 45 years. Because of that, catalytic converters were found to provide an answer to the control of emissions and to provide compliance with the regulated emissions standards of the day. It appears there is no law that says a cat must be fitted but a passenger vehicle must however comply with the emissions requirements and cats can provide the answer. i.e. there could be something else that could do the job, once discovered.
Where is the warm up catalitic converter located on a 2002 Mazda 626?
Pre/ warm up catalytic converters are usually found attached right below the exhaust manifold and before the flex pipe. These converters are made of a ceramic substrate for greater heat protection, while still allowing decent emissions control while the catalytic converter is warming up to the required temperature to start reacting with the VOCs such as carbon monoxide. These warm up converters are generally smaller in size and located under the heat shield that is over top the exhaust manifold.
