Sportage 2WD L4-2.0L SOHC (1995)
Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The three-way catalytic converter is mounted, in-line, between the header pipe and the muffler. It reacts with exhaust gases to convert them to less
harmful products and therefore reduce the pollutant levels to within legally- prescribed limits.
The catalytic metals are thin-coated onto and supported by a honeycomb-shaped, high temperature ceramic. The honeycomb is mounted inside the
converter shell which is surrounded by a heat shield. This design produces little restriction to the flow of exhaust gases and has proven to be
durable.
