A catalytic converter is a vehicle emissions control device, in front of the vehicle's muffler, that converts toxic pollutants in exhaust gas to less toxic pollutants. There are three types of metals that help the catalytic converter remove toxins from the vehicles’ emissions: platinum, palladium and rhodium. It’s the tiny amounts of these valuable metals inside the catalytic converter that makes them so valuable. Catalytic converters sell for $40-$200 each. They cost $1000 to replace!!! The following flyer provides tips to prevent your catalytic converter from being taken.
