Beneath your car, in an enlarged portion of your exhaust pipe, is the often misunderstood Chevrolet Impala catalytic converter. If you have ever been told that your Impala catalytic converter needs to be replaced, and then received a price quote, you may have wondered whether your Chevrolet Impala catalytic converter was made out of solid gold. Actually, your Impala catalytic converter does contain some precious metals; though none of it is gold.

The Chevrolet Impala catalytic converter is nothing but a honeycomb filter with small amounts of platinum, rhodium, and palladium embedded in the walls. These metals act as catalysts (hence the "fancy" name of the part) to create a chemical reaction with your exhaust.

Toxic emissions from your engine flow into your Impala catalytic converter, and clean, environmentally safe exhaust flows out. Of course, this means that if your catalytic converter is not working correctly, you are releasing toxic pollutants into the environment. Furthermore, your faulty Impala catalytic converter is going to keep you from passing your state's emissions test. Unless you are a chemist, it can be difficult to tell when your catalytic converter is not working. Other than a failed emissions test, a foul rotten-egg odor from your exhaust combined with a drop in fuel efficiency and sluggish engine performance ca indicate a faulty Impala catalytic converter.
