A catalytic converter has a honeycomb structure to maximize the surface area available for catalytic reactions to occur. The honeycomb design allows for efficient contact between exhaust gases and the catalyst materials, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which facilitate the conversion of harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions. This design also ensures uniform flow distribution and minimizes pressure drop in the exhaust system, optimizing the converter's performance.
What else can I help you with?
How do you tell if there is still platinum in a catalytic converter?
shine a flashlight inside or hold it up to light to see if there is a honeycomb inside. if there is no honeycomb inside, it contains no platinum.
What about the honeycomb in a converter is it safe to break apart?
There is no reason to do this. Modern catalytic converters do not restrict your exhaust flow. All you will gain by breaking it out is a check engine light coming on that will never go away. If your check engine light is already on for a catalytic converter problem removing the honeycomb will not fix it.
Ware is the catalis of an catalytic converter located?
The platinum is coated on the surfaces of the honeycomb or, on older models, on the ceramic beads.

Can an oil leak cause damage to a catalytic converter?
Yes, an oil leak can cause damage to a catalytic converter. When engine oil leaks into the exhaust system—often due to worn piston rings, valve seals, or a blown head gasket—it can burn inside the catalytic converter. This burning oil creates excess heat and deposits that can clog the converter’s honeycomb structure, reducing its efficiency and potentially leading to complete failure. Over time, this can trigger the check engine light, increase emissions, and decrease engine performance. Addressing oil leaks promptly is crucial to avoid expensive catalytic converter repairs or replacements.
Can you take off the catalytic converter and replace it with flowmaster?
Legally you can only replace a catalytic converter with another catalytic converter.
Is upstream before the catalytic converter and downstream after the catalytic converter?
Yes

Does a 1984 jaguar xjs have a catalytic converter?
Yes, it has a catalytic converter.
Is there a cover for the catalytic converter that stops theft?
There is not an antitheft cover for the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter gets extremely hot and cannot be covered.
