Take the inner combs or or pellets out of the converter, make powder out of the inner parts and then wash them down with water. You will have a lot of gold like particles which tend to be magnetic but that is your gold in there. You can now refine this material down to a solid core by slow melt with torch. I just got over an ounce out of one small converter yesterday. Good luck.

Catalytic converter has platinum in it
I'm not sure about rhodium, but i know that catalytic converters with platinum contain about 3-7 grams of platinum per converter.
Yes
Actually it is not the muffler that contains platinum it is the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter (or "cat" as muffler shops and mechanic's call them) is usually in front of the muffler.
Platinum is used as the catalyst in a catalytic converter, because this is a precious metal they can be very expensive.
Platinum is extracted from a catalytic converter by first removing the converter from the vehicle. The converter is then crushed and heated to high temperatures to burn off any organic materials. The remaining material is then treated with chemicals to dissolve the platinum, which can then be separated and purified.
Platinum in a catalytic converter is an element. It is a noble metal that acts as a catalyst in the converter to facilitate chemical reactions that convert harmful pollutants in exhaust gases into less harmful substances.

One can effectively remove platinum from a catalytic converter by using a process called smelting, which involves heating the converter to high temperatures to separate the platinum from other materials. This method allows for the extraction of the valuable platinum for recycling or resale.
