This emissions control device located near the exhaust manifold reduces the toxicity of the exhaust. If the device fails, it won\u2019t do it effectively, which means your car will likely fail a smog test. Damage to your catalytic converter, whether it\u2019s rusted through, producing a rattling noise, or plugged up, can result in a large repair bill.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Our blog has covered everything about catalytic converter replacement, how to do it, and how much it costs to replace it replaced?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #e71346;color:#e71346\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #e71346;color:#e71346\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.way.com\/journal\/catalytic-converter-replacement\/#What_causes_catalytic_converters_to_fail\" >What causes catalytic converters to fail?\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.way.com\/journal\/catalytic-converter-replacement\/#What_are_the_signs_of_a_bad_catalytic_converter\" >What are the signs of a bad catalytic converter?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.way.com\/journal\/catalytic-converter-replacement\/#Catalytic_converter_replacement_Should_you_fix_it_yourself_or_have_it_repaired\" >Catalytic converter replacement: Should you fix it yourself or have it repaired?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.way.com\/journal\/catalytic-converter-replacement\/#Tools_required_for_replacing_a_catalytic_converter\" >Tools required for replacing a catalytic converter\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.way.com\/journal\/catalytic-converter-replacement\/#Steps_to_follow_for_catalytic_converter_replacement\" >Steps to follow for catalytic converter replacement<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.way.com\/journal\/catalytic-converter-replacement\/#How_long_does_it_take_to_replace_a_catalytic_converter\" >How long does it take to replace a catalytic converter?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.way.com\/journal\/catalytic-converter-replacement\/#How_much_is_a_catalytic_converter_replacement\" >How much is a catalytic converter replacement?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.way.com\/journal\/catalytic-converter-replacement\/#What_happens_if_I_dont_replace_the_catalytic_converter_on_time\" >What happens if I don\u2019t replace the catalytic converter on time?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_causes_catalytic_converters_to_fail\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">What causes catalytic converters to fail?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Since there are no internal moving parts, most catalytic converters can last around 10-15 years.

You can save around $100 on labor if you have the tools and expertise to replace the converter. In some cars, you can find the converter attached to the engine, and you can consider it a do-it-yourself project.

Raise the vehicle<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ensure that you buy the correct part based on your car\u2019s make, model, and year. Always buy a new one for replacing. Place all the four wheels of your car on the jack stands. Before starting to work, let the air circulate to cool things down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Find the catalytic converter<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Then look for the catalytic converter. Use the special socket to remove the oxygen sensor and its connections. Then remove the bolts at the flanges using a ratchet, starting at the back and working forward. Instead of putting pressure on them, spray them with penetrating oil and leave them for a few minutes. Then try removing the bolts again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Replace the catalytic converter<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The next step is to swap the old converter with the new one. Then replace the oxygen sensor and its connected fittings. Ensure that the replacement catalytic converter is tightly in place. Welded components or rusted bolts are the things that make catalytic converter replacement a tedious and lengthy process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Restart your car<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once finished, turn the ignition on and ensure that the check engine light is off. If the light is still on, it can indicate either a defective catalytic converter or a defective oxygen sensor. Use a diagnostic scan tool to determine whether the catalytic converter requires another repair.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_to_replace_a_catalytic_converter\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">How long does it take to replace a catalytic converter?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Typically, it takes around an hour to install a new catalytic converter.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"post-title entry-title\"><em>Does insurance cover catalytic converter theft?
