What happens if the catalytic converter is removed from a car?

[VanCamilla]

The vehicle will lose its ability to purify harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the exhaust emissions, resulting in significantly increased environmental pollution. Below is relevant information about catalytic converters: 1. Function: The catalytic converter is installed in the front section of the vehicle's exhaust pipe and is used to reduce toxic and harmful substances in the exhaust emissions. 2. Structure: The exterior of the catalytic converter is made of double-layer stainless steel plates forming a cylindrical shape. Between the double-layer thin plates, there is an insulating material—asbestos fiber felt. Inside, a purifying agent is placed between mesh partitions. The purifying agent consists of a carrier and a catalyst.
