Most of the vehicles today will trigger the Check Engine light as soon as a sensor or component has an issue or has failed, including the catalytic converter. However, in some cases it is not so straight forward, this is where a properly trained technician or a knowledgeable DIYer is needed. The most common issue we see over and over again is when a technician just replaces a converter because it triggered a Check Engine light without understanding why it happened.
This will only result in one thing; a converter being damaged and you having to make another purchase out of pocket. Some converters are not New York state approved as they have adopted the California emissions program, it is best to check with your installer in NY state to see if they want a CARB California air resources board approved unit.

Catalytic Converter is For Removing Harmful Substances from Exhaust The catalytic converter is designed to reduce harmful substances in the exhaust gas. This component contains a catalyst that helps convert toxic gases into harmless ones, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Muffler Suppresses the Sound Coming from the Engine The muffler is a device that reduces the noise from an engine. It does this by trapping them inside a chamber with walls made out of metal tubes and baffles, which absorb their energy and prevents it from being released into the environment in order to promote peace within society.
They are fixed under the car in between the exhaust and tailpipe. Mufflers are typically made from stainless steel, but they come in other metals such as aluminum, titanium, and copper for those looking for something cheaper and lighter weight. The muffler has been around since the late s when Hiram Percy Maxim patented his own invention of the silencer to reduce not only engine noise levels but also smoke coming out of train engines which was causing nuisance pollution problems on city streets during this time period.
He is the pioneer in making both automotive muffler and firearms silencer. Advertisements A catalytic converter, on the other hand, is a device that removes pollutants from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine by reacting them with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst such as rhodium, platinum, or palladium, leading to their conversion into harmless gases. Unlike Muffler, it uses ceramic honeycomb cells covered with precious metal usually platinum for this purpose.
A catalytic converter will reduce the level of most negative emissions from an automotive engine. Country United States Canada. Search 0 Cart. Search our collections. What are you looking for?
