Catalytic Converter

There are four ways for you to determine whether your catalytic converter needs replacing or not:
1. Busted or rusted out converter body or end tubes.
2. Small pieces of substrate in other areas of the exhaust system.
3. No rattle in a pellitized converter (If the converter does not rattle, the pellets may have melted together or fallen out).
4. A rattle in a monolithic converter (A rattle in this kind of converter indicates the substrate has separated.)
Replacement of your catalytic converter is a procedure that can be done by professionals such as through your dealer’s service department, through a muffler shop, or by a local garage. If you are handy, you can do the work yourself and save money on parts as well as on labor costs.
Only purchase a catalytic converter that meets or exceeds your vehicle’s OEM specifications. Online retailers, including Auto Parts Warehouse, carry a huge selection of Jeep and Ford catalytic converters as well as converters for most other cars.
