Almost every modern car enthusiast has an idea of how the exhaust system works in a car and what role the catalyst plays. Also, car owners have information that the particulate filter itself is expensive. Therefore, many are looking for options to save money on maintenance and replacement. In order not to overpay extra money, you can pay attention to universal catalysts. The advantage of the product is that after replacement, you will not have to make any changes to the design of the car.
The universal device is most often mounted directly next to the exhaust manifold or in the exhaust manifold. The process of installing a product is no more difficult than placing a flame arrester or a native original catalyst. You can cope with it, including on your own. At the moment, you can find products of two types on free sale. We are talking about replaceable pipes and collectors that are selected individually.
You can also pay attention to replaceable cartridges with cylindrical honeycomb. These products, in turn, are placed directly in the place where the standard catalyst was previously. Before buying this or that option, the car owner will have to pay attention to the throughput of the particulate filter, as well as to the dimensions in order to fit the device into the highway.
In a situation when we are talking about a main-line catalyst, it will have to be mounted close to the resonators of the mufflers. It is worth recalling that before installing the device, the old catalyst is pre-cooked, which has completely lost its performance. If we talk about the installation of a collector-type product, then it is considered more complicated and it will not be possible to carry out it independently without the appropriate skills and knowledge. In this case, it is better to entrust the work to specialists.
