The Toyota Tacoma is a light pickup truck whose design dates back to before WWII. The venerable and proven design is engineered to be efficient, reliable, and powerful. An important component of the engine’s design is the exhaust, which must be kept in good condition to allow the engine to run smoothly and evenly, and also to keep the vehicle quiet and environmentally friendly.

A key component of the exhaust system is the Toyota Tacoma’s catalytic converter. The cat converts the bulk of the most harmful exhaust pollutants into less harmful compounds.

The worst byproducts of petroleum combustion are carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, and various hydrocarbons. The catalytic converter uses a mesh of precious metals of the platinum family, including platinum and rhodium. The more of the precious metals the catalytic converter contains, the more efficiently it works. To keep everything running smoothly, the Toyota Tacoma catalytic converter must be kept in good shape. A failing cat will have the sulfuric smell of rotten eggs. It can also rust, which not only makes the engine sound terrible, but produces turbulence and other airflow disruptions that will rob you of valuable power. There are a number of aftermarket Toyota Tacoma catalytic converters which promise to improve the engine’s power. They primarily achieve this increase through a higher flow of gases, which reduces the load on the engine to move the exhaust through the system. The best catalytic converters contain higher amounts of the precious metals, allowing it to work more efficiently. These cats are, of course, more expensive.
