Midnight auto supply?. Some states require the use of "OEM" only cats,hopefully yours dont. Could always be worst, the wifes 05 Taco needed both replaced and cost $2500 when it needed a smog in Commiefornia.
People not smart enough to leave Cali deserve everything they get. That state was a shit hole years ago. They've only improved on this bad quality in recent years.Midnight auto supply?.

Try that in Va. That's two tickets. Faulty equipment and driving while knowing shit is back ordered and you're dumb enough to tell the cop that.I've used it as an excuse to get out of a ticket for expired inspection. I just told the cop that the parts are on backorder.
There's a stamp on the CARB ones since they got "certified".
I did. None here either unless you're inside a hospital.Move to a decent state and enjoy life. No masks in Florida.
p.s. Zorba does "deeply discounted" dances in his home state to the homeless or needy.
I guess Maine's troopers aren't as anal about a tailpipe as they are in VA...Try that in Va. That's two tickets. Faulty equipment and driving while knowing shit is back ordered and you're dumb enough to tell the cop that.
p.s. Ticket #3.
I just did mine at home, fortunately.Yup. And here in Colorado, thanks to some regulations adopted from California in Jan 2021, you've got no choice but to use the CARB compliant options (if you're having the work done in a shop). I've had more than a few customers go visit family in less restrictive states, find a decent shop, and save serious $$.
Same. My walker cat was $300 a number of years ago and I just clamped it into place.I just did mine at home, fortunately.
I went to a muffler shop earlier this year to ask about exhaust work and he said "with the new CA-adopted laws, we have to use CARB compliant equipment", I was qouted $1100 for simple job that should have cost no more than a couple hundred bucks.Yup.

It’s a good thing that TJ’s have that built-in theft deterrent device.Prices are high because of the supply chain issues (which will be going on for years) and due to the very, very high amount of catalytic converter theft that has been rampant across the US.
Are you really asking if electric cars use catalytic converters?There are no emissions tests here. So I would pipe it to the muffler and rely on the pre cats.
Are the same elements used in electric cars somewhere?
My understanding they are better internally and have gone through the certification process. I replaced mine with CARB approved walker cats about two years ago. All three with mopar o2 sensors about $1000 plus a whole day of fitting welding and installing. Magnaflow was about $1800 and muffler shop wanted $2400Do you suppose there is any difference between the CARB approved and non-approved converters other than the nearly three times higher price? They look the same.
not yet. you have to let them get popular and for everyone to own 1 or 2. then the tree huggers will start adding shit on to it to make it more inefficient than a strainer trying to hold water.Are you really asking if electric cars use catalytic converters?

aint going to happen, well now wait hopefully it will. i can just see some thug under the car trying to cut the electric motor out and it falling on him flattening his head. sure sounds like a good reason to sue the car manufactures !When do the thieves start targeting EVs for motors and batteries? There has to be something on them that's easy to get off and expensive.
Now your question makes sense to me.No.
I asked if the materials inside them where used anywhere in making components for electric cars.
That might explain why the jump in converter prices.
If not, as more EVs come out, converters could go down in price.

I'm surprised more cars aren't outright stolen and stripped down completely for their electronics and parts people can't get.
Platinum is used both in catalytic converters and in hydrogen fuel cells which supposedly are going to solve all of our problems.Are you really asking if electric cars use catalytic converters?
