Collection: Catalytic Converters - KIA

KIA Catalytic Converters 

Kia is a Korean auto company known for working with the likes of MAZDA and for partnering with Hyundai to produce attractive cars that offer impressive performance at a reasonable price. Kia has grown over the years since the automaker first came out, and is a huge name in the industry today. Kia vehicles are a good value and are designed to be simple to maintain, but they do require maintenance. One key part that requires replacement over time is the catalytic converter for many. Some owners are greeted by an emissions system error code, and when that code pops up the catalytic converter is likely the culprit. If you get the code to consider swapping out the part with one of our exact-fit Kia catalytic converters. 

We make converters for the Soul, the Sportage, the Optima and many other Kia vehicles as well. These catalytic converters aren’t just replacements for the original, they are durable products that are built to last for many years. Each of the converters features a stainless steel exterior that’s designed to hold pu to moisture and avoid rusting while other products would have corroded away. This helps make our converters a good choice for buyers that live in a harsh climate. They also come loaded with coated hardware that can be used to replace the old hardware during the part change. With the included hardware, the catalytic converter and sometimes mounting clamps as well, you’ll have all the necessary parts that you need to complete the installation with our catalytic converters. Our Kia catalytic converters are designed for simple installation as well. They bolt into position using a simple flange mount and can be put in place without much difficulty. The different converters use a different number of bolts, but they all rely on a welded flange for a sturdy installation. 

Catalytic converters are the cleaning agents for the exhaust system. Internal combustion engines, like the ones used on Kia vehicles and many other vehicles out on the road today, burn fuel to create power. This process works very well to generate massive amounts of force, but it isn’t 100% efficient and the fuel doesn’t burn 100% of the way during the combustion process. What gets left are hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and other harmful compounds. The catalytic converter works to change some of those to better compounds that won’t do damage to the air and won’t help contribute to air pollution as much. Catalytic converters like the ones that we offer helped reduce issues with air pollution around the world, which is why the parts are required on most vehicles today. If your catalytic converter is damaged, your vehicle is putting out more pollution than it normally would be, and this isn’t good for the environment or for the air around you. 

Select our Kia catalytic converter that’s designed for your vehicle specifically. To do this, look through our parts to find the one with te model and year of your vehicle. Once you have the part, you can easily make the swap for the old part to restore the function of your catalytic converter. This isn’t the only issue that you could be having with your vehicle’s emissions system, but swapping the catalytic converter is one possible way to fix the issues. Buyers also swap out the O2 sensors on the vehicle to try and restore proper function to the vehicle. Once the changes are made your vehicle should run more smoothly while offering the same cleaning effectiveness that it originally did. 

Our catalytic converters are designed to avoid reducing the power output of your vehicle. That means that you can put it on your Kia and still get the same fuel efficiency and power figures. That’s because the part doesn’t obstruct the flow of exhaust and it is engineered carefully to keep the fumes moving smoothly while still doing its job.
