What is a Catalytic Converter?

A catalytic converter is an essential component in a vehicle’s exhaust system that helps reduce harmful emissions by converting toxic gases like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances. Over time, a catalytic converter may become clogged or damaged, requiring replacement.
