WHAT IS A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
A Catalytic Converter (or Cat) is an Exhaust Emissions Device located underneath a vehicle. It uses a combination of heat and precious metals to promote a chemical reaction, which breaks down harmful gases, making the emissions less detrimental to the environment.

HOW DOES A CAT WORK?
The operating temperature of a cat is between 350 to 400 degrees Celsius. Once the cat has reached this temperature a chemical reaction occurs as the exhaust gases flow through the coated monolith. The harmful gases are oxidised and converted as shown in the diagram.

COMPONENTS OF A CAT
A honeycomb monolith coated with precious metals (usually Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium) is encased in a steel can. Between the monolith and the can is matting. Upon running a cat in, this matting expands when subjected to heat. Once expanded, the matting holds the monolith in place.

FIA Approved Racing Catalytic Converters

We now offer an FIA improved range of both 100cpsi cats and 200 cpsi performance cats, which come standard with a stainless steel monolith. Having fewer cells per square inch improves the gas flow through the catalytic converter, and can boost performance by up to 15bhp. The stainless steel monolith gives extra longevity, especially on lowered vehicles.
