Yong catalytic ay mga $2,495 plus tax at iba pa yong installation hindi ko alam kung magkano ang pakapit. Good luck, sana maayos mo na ang problema mo.

question

wala bang smog testing sa philippines ?

meron, pero mas mababa ang standards para sa older cars.

I removed my catalytic converter 3 years ago. my car has passed emission testing every time.

i haven't seen catalytic convereters for new below 1M peso cars, so it's a good assumption that the emissions standards are not stiff

Chuaed,

Is this for the Optra? If it is, just remove it. Run on lpg for emmissions test and you'll pass with flying colors. Like they said, your car will function without one.

Bambino,

Standards are low. How do you think all those smoke belching busses and jeepneys pass? Oh ibang paraan pala yun.

What's the purpose of a catalytic converter?

**[archie]** · October 26th, 2008 02:47 PM

^^ it reduces the harmful emissions produced by the engine. hindi ko lang sure paano. hahahaha :bwahaha:

^^^ Pag mainit na ang catalytic converter, it converts harmfull gasses to inert or safe gasses. Hence better emissions.

Some years ago I was able to buy a catalytic converter from NODALOS for my ride. Maybe you can check them out if they are still selling them.
