The Chevy Truck Catalytic Converter is vital to the reduction of harmful exhaust emissions from your engine. Raw, untreated exhaust gases contain a deadly mixture of carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide, which are the main ingredients of the heavy yellow-brown smog once seen over many American cities. By using a "catalyst," the Chevy Truck Catalytic Converter breaks the molecular bonds of these toxic compounds, recombining them into water vapor, plain nitrogen (which actually makes up most of Earth's atmosphere anyway), and carbon dioxide.
It's not a perfect solution, because CO2 has been linked to global climate change - but since the 1970's, it has been a demonstrated step forward in created a cleaner, greener world. In any event, the catalytic converter has changed quite a bit from those power-draining pellet-style devices of thirty years ago.
Today's Chevy Truck Catalytic Converter uses a ceramic "honeycomb" surface coated with a metallic compound of platinum and palladium. Additionally, modern catalytic converters feature low-restriction elements that clean your engine emissions without slowing down the flow of exhaust gases. Not only will you have cleaner exhaust, you'll enjoy greater horsepower and increased low-end torque. The fact remains that when your catalytic converter is damaged or defective, your truck will fail emissions required by many state and local regulations. Because of its location under the car, it is subject to major wear and tear from water, road salts, gravel, dirt and more.
