Pontiac Torrent Catalytic Converter
The Pontiac Torrent Catalytic Converter turns toxic carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and smog-forming nitrogen oxides into far safer carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen gas in the SUV's exhaust. This Catalytic Converter utilizes a ceramic honeycomb that is coated in platinum, palladium, and rhodium. This ceramic honeycomb sits within the exhaust system itself, which heated gases cause to pass through many tiny channels. These precious metals speed oxidation and reduction reactions but are not consumed in the process. Previously, Pontiac models employed two-way units that solely oxidized carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC). Later models such as the Torrent feature a three-way Catalytic Converter capable of reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) for more complete control of pollution. The honeycomb style Catalytic Converter of today warms up quicker, has lower backpressure, and gives the engine a stronger response compared to units with bead fillings from decades ago. A rattling sound from the underbody, a power loss, or a check engine light could be a clear indicator that the Pontiac or any variant of the Torrent might fail an emissions test due to Catalytic Converter damage from misfires, rich fuel mixtures, leaking oil, or impacts with the road.
Each OEM Pontiac Torrent Catalytic Converter we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
