catalytic converters are made of several rare metals, Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium called catalysts because they create a chemical change to your exhaust gas without going through a chemical change themselves to lower emissions. The Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Hydro Carbons, and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) go through the catalytic converter and change NOx is changed to Oxygen, Hydro Carbons to H2O and Carbon Monoxide to Carbon Dioxide. Perfect catalyst change and out the tail pipe would be CO, CO2, O2, HC, and NOx --> CO2, H2O, O2
