E.P.A. Compliant vs. C.A.R.B. Compliant
C.A.R.B. Compliant converters have very high precious metal loading, which reduces emissions output.
- Required in California & Colorado
- Legal for all 50 States
E.P.A. Compliant converters have typically lower precious metal loading and are generally more price conscious.
Have You Fixed the Problem that Caused your OEM Converter to Fail? Catalytic Converters are designed to last the life of your vehicle – they do not fail on their own. It is important to fix the source of the problem before replacing your OEM converter. There are three major reasons a converter fails:

Often caused by unburned fuel entering the converter from a faulty:
- Spark Plug
- Exhaust Valve
- Oxygen Sensor
- Fuel Injector
Burned Converter |
CATALYST POISONING |
Often caused by exposure to emissions substances from:
- Leaky Cylinder Head Gasket
- Silicone-Based Sealant
- Improper Fuel (E85, Diesel)
- Worn Piston Ring / Valve Seal

STRUCTURAL DAMAGE |
Often caused by road debris, corrosion or other conditions such as:
