Manifold Catalytic Converters

A Manifold Catalytic Converter, often referred to as a "manifold-cat" or "integrated catalytic converter," is a type of catalytic converter that is integrated directly into the exhaust manifold of an engine. This design is distinct from traditional catalytic converters, which are typically installed further along the exhaust system. Manifold Catalytic Converters are commonly found on modern vehicles, especially those with smaller engines and tighter emission control requirements. They play a vital role in reducing emissions and improving engine efficiency, albeit with potentially higher replacement costs in the event of failure.
