No
There are common ones but no truly universal.
Sell it to a scrap metal dealer.
Most metal recyclers will take a catalytic converter, but be aware that Federal and State law enforcement is now requiring tracking information whenever someone tries to sell them. Stealing catalytic converters has become an industry for criminals and law enforcement has been watching closely.
No # It is illegal # It will harm the economy and performance of the car
For as long as the repairer wishes... there is no specified time
A catalytic converter works by the various precious minerals and metals inside it. Quite simply they convert the dangerous chemicals inside the exhaust gases(carbon monixide,NOx etc) into less harmful ones (carbon dioxide etc). Due to the minerals and metals inside though they are often target to thieves as they can fetch quite a high price at the scrap yard. The catalytic converters that got stole off the HGV's at our work had a value of £800!Catalytic converters work by having the heated gases react with the precious metals in the catalytic converter. There is platinum palladium and rhodium in a catalytic converter all three are very expensive and rare metals. Because of the honeycomb shape of the catalytic biscuit there is a lot of surface area for the gas to be neutralized on.Prior to catalytic converters being on every car for every mile you drove your car would punch out somewhere around 100g's of pollution. After the addition of catalytic converters with platinum and palladium this number dropped to less than 1g of pollution per mile. After the addition of rhodium it dropped N/E which is non detectable.
Direct to fit Catalytic Converters come ready to install with all parts pre-welded. These are better for the DIY professional. Universal converters are cheaper, but require cutting, welding, etc. These installations are best left for the shop professionals.
No, planes don't have catalytic converters.
Yes, but make sure you get an OEM type converter and not a universal converter.
are catalytic converters covered by a warrenty
A Ford Escape has three catalytic converters. It is known that the top two catalytic converters and their coils are costly.
I believe there are two or three Catalytic Converters
No
Catalytic converters are made of platinum-iridium catalyst, ceramic monolith or rhodium.
Because they have a chemical catalyst inside them which neutralizes harmful emissions.
Silver is not an element found in catalytic converters. You can find platinum, which serves as a catalyst.
How many catalytic converters are in a 1999 Camry CE?
Catalytic converters are made of platinum-iridium catalyst or a ceramic monolith
