Pontiac Catalytic Converters 

Pontiac vehicles, known for being the performance division of GM are still well-loved for being quick, stylish and enjoyable to drive around. For all the different positives that they have to offer, including their reliability, these vehicles do run into issues from time-to-time and one common problem is emission system fault codes. Check engine lights come on frequently, and most of the time it’s due to the emissions system. The emissions system is the exhaust where fumes come from the engine and go out the tailpipe of the vehicle, and there are several things that can go wrong with the system. One of the most common is a failure with the catalytic converter. This device is vitally important, but susceptible to corrosion and prone to failure after many years of use. That’s why we offer a replacement catalytic converter for Pontiac vehicles, and it’s something that owners should really consider purchasing if they’re having issues with their emissions system. 

Each catalytic converter that we sell for Pontiac vehicles is designed to last for many years. They’re built from solid materials, and more importantly, they are built with a stainless steel finish. These products will withstand weathering and won’t rust like others on the market. This is very important when you’re talking about a part that’s mounted on the underside of the vehicle, especially in cold climates where salt and moisture are commonplace. Our catalytic converters can be purchased with an extended warranty too if that’s something you’re interested in. The warranty adds months to years of added protection to the part, so you know that you are safe when you invest in the product. If you’re worried about issues in the future, consider adding on this warranty. 

A catalytic converter is an important tool in most vehicles today because it makes exhaust fumes less harmful to the air around us. Exhaust fumes can have all sorts of nasty things in them like carbon monoxide and harmful nitrogen oxides that can do damage to the environment and contribute to smog and other problems. These compounds can be broken down and transformed into better substances with the right steps. A catalytic converter helps facilitate that change to create healthier exhaust for everyone. 

The main reason that most people get a new catalytic converter is that they are greeted with a fault code triggered by the emissions system. This usually comes up during an inspection test, which is required annually in many states around the country. When the code pops up the vehicle owner knows that they have to replace something in their emissions system to fix the problem, and that’s often an O2 sensor or the catalytic converter. Once changed the issue will subside and the vehicle will run more cleanly as well. If you notice that you have the same sort of error code, you should consider swapping out one or more of these parts to fix it up. O2 sensors are more affordable, but the catalytic converter is often what needs to be switched. 

Every one of our catalytic converters is designed to fit just like the OEM part does. That means that it will lock into position easily and with very little modification. This is good news for owners that want to put it into position on an exhaust system that hasn’t yet been modified. Simply slip the part into position and finish the installation from there. This also means that the part must be chosen carefully to avoid getting one that isn’t going to fit. 

Our exact fit parts come with the hardware that they need for installation, but they must be matched properly to be able to install them. Once you have the right equipment, you can easily install the part using the bolt-on installation process and all the hardware that was included with the kit. Mechanics love installing our kits, but many vehicle owners handle the installation themselves as well. Either way, you can greatly enhance the quality of your vehicle and boost performance by installing a new catalytic converter onto your ride.
