Nissan 300ZX catalytic converters, like all cats, are an outgrowth of a line of technological development that seeks to reduce or eliminate the environmental impact of automobiles. Automobile designers have found that a mesh of precious metals will combine with the heat and the gases to eliminate the three main harmful byproducts of automobile exhaust, which are carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, and various hydrocarbons. The catalytic converter, aside from the headers, is typically the most expensive single component of the exhaust system because of the precious metal content.

The more of the precious metals the cat contains, the better it seems to clean up the exhaust. The most commonly used metals are in the platinum group.

Exhaust designers attempt to design the Nissan 300ZX catalytic converters to allow the highest volume of air to flow through it, while still allowing it to remain in the system long enough for the cleansing effect. More expensive exhausts which contain more platinum are able to have a freer flow of gases throughout. In order for a vehicle to comply with the environmental regulations for safe operation of a vehicle in all 50 states, it must have a properly functioning catalytic converter. If you are looking for a replacement Nissan 300ZX catalytic converter, or a more advanced performance cat, we have the right part for you.
