The Dodge Ram Catalytic Converter helps to significantly reduce the emission of toxic exhaust gases from your engine. Untreated, exhaust gases contain a deadly mixture of carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide. In the old days, these were the main ingredients of the heavy yellow-brown smog once seen over major American cities.

The Dodge Ram Catalytic Converter uses a "catalyst," to break the molecular bonds of these toxic compounds, which then recombine into water vapor, plain nitrogen (which actually makes up most of Earth's atmosphere anyway), and carbon dioxide. Since CO2 has been linked to the phenomenon of "global warming," it's not a perfect solution - but since the 1970's, it has helped a great deal in making the air over our cities cleaner and healthier.

You'll be glad to know that the catalytic converter has changed significantly from those power-draining pellet-style devices of the "disco era." Today's catalytic converter employs a ceramic "honeycomb" surface, coated with a metallic compound of platinum and palladium. Modern catalytic converters also feature low-restriction elements that clean up exhaust emissions without slowing the flow - resulting in cleaner exhaust, as well as greater horsepower and increased low-end torque. If your catalytic converter is damaged or defective, however, your truck may very well fail emissions required by many state and local regulations. Because it is installed beneath the car, it bears the brunt of destructive water, road salts, gravel, dirt and more. Because of the platinum, a catalytic converter is expensive - but you'll get a significant price break when you buy it here.Check out our online catalog listings today for major savings on a new Dodge Ram Catalytic Converter!
