FAQs About Mitsubishi Catalytic Converters

What Do Mitsubishi Catalytic Converters Do?

The catalytic converter in your Mitsubishi car or SUV is a critical, federally-mandated component of the exhaust system on every gas-powered vehicle sold in the United States. It takes the pollutants generated during by your engine and converts them into less harmful compounds. That keeps our environment -- and the air that we all breathe -- cleaner.

How Does A Mitsubishi Catalytic Converter Work?

The catalytic converter is attached to the undercarriage, riding between your exhaust manifold and the muffler. It has a metallic coating of rhodium, platinum, and palladium that gathers the great majority of the harmful byproducts generated by internal combustion. Nitrogen remains trapped, while oxygen is allowed to continue along. The process itself burns hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide to leave water vapors and carbon dioxide in place. Those, along with the oxygen, are expelled harmlessly into the atmosphere.

What Are the Symptoms of a Failing Catalytic Converter?

If your acceleration weakens, you notice sluggish engine performance, hear loud noises coming from under your ride, or notice the odor of rotten eggs in the air, your cat may be at fault. Sadly, it may be missing instead. That's because thieves target catalytic converters due to the value of the metals contained within.
