Types of Catalytic Converters on the Road Today

Understanding what type of converter your vehicle uses helps clarify total replacement costs and emission compliance requirements in Colorado:

2-WAY

Two-Way Catalytic Converters

Common on older vehicles, two-way converters break down two types of emissions: Hydrocarbons (HC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). After passing through, these are released as carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water ($H_2O$).

Most Common

3-WAY

Three-Way Catalytic Converters

Newer cars feature these components, which deal with Nitrogen Oxide (NO) in addition to HC and CO. The conversion releases $CO_2$, $H_2O$, nitrogen ($N_2$), and oxygen ($O_2$).

DOC

Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC)

Like two-ways, converters for diesel engines break down HC and CO. They can process NO — but not quite as effectively as three-way converters can.
