Pontiac Firebird Catalytic Converter
This component called as Catalytic Converter in the automobiles, particularly the Pontiac Firebird vehicles, is an important element in the exhaust and emissions systems as it works to alter toxic gases emitted during combustion into less toxic compounds. It mainly changes over Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbons (HC), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) into water, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and Nitrogen (N2) through redox reactions by using metallic catalysts such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Of all the Catalytic Converters used in the years of Pontiac Firebird manufacturing, two-way converters were used in early models while later models incorporated three-way converters that also eliminate NOx emissions. Earlier it was designed to have ceramic beads but initially, the design has been changed into a honeycomb like structure for better efficiency of gas flow and also for effective interaction between the catalyst. Performance Catalytic Converters are also available, for high flow to help as much as possible from an engine while meeting emissions standards.
Each OEM Pontiac Firebird Catalytic Converter we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.

Pontiac Firebird Catalytic Converter Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What is the proper procedure for removing and reinstalling the exhaust pipe, catalytic converter, Muffler, and tailpipe on Pontiac Firebird?A: Caution is advised as the vehicle's exhaust system generates very high temperatures, necessitating a complete cooldown before any components are handled, particularly around the catalytic converter where temperatures peak. Due to the high temperatures and exposed locations of exhaust system components, rust and corrosion can cause parts to become stuck. Liquid penetrating oils can assist in loosening frozen fasteners, but cutting pieces apart with a hacksaw or cutting torch may be required in some cases, which should only be performed by experienced individuals. To begin, raise the vehicle and secure it on jackstands. For the front exhaust pipe, remove the bolts securing it to the exhaust manifold(s) and the clamp connecting it to the catalytic converter, then separate the pipe from both the manifold(s) and the converter, ensuring to install new bolts, gaskets, and nuts during reinstallation. When handling the catalytic converter, ensure it has cooled sufficiently before removing the converter-to-front exhaust pipe clamp and the air management pipe-to-converter clamp, followed by the bolts securing the rear of the converter to the converter/intermediate pipe bracket. Reinstallation should also use new gaskets, bolts, and nuts. For the intermediate exhaust pipe, remove the clamp securing it to the muffler/tailpipe assembly and the bolts connecting it to the intermediate pipe/converter bracket, then remove the pipe and reinstall using new gaskets, bolts, and nuts. The tailpipe is part of the muffler assembly; remove the bolts and nuts connecting the muffler to the intermediate exhaust pipe, then take out the muffler/tailpipe assembly rear hanger bolts to separate it from the vehicle, ensuring to use new nuts and bolts during reinstallation.
