CATALYTIC CONVERTER

The catalytic converter, which is responsible for the cleanup of a vehicle exhaust, is a key component of a vehicle emission control system. When this piece malfunctions, the car will create additional emissions, run more roughly, start engine trouble, and have reduced fuel efficiency.
