How To Tell If Your Catalytic Converter Has Been Stolen by Asunaky: 2:39pm On Aug 05, 2022 |
You may not be able to tell your catalytic converter was stolen by looking at your car, but you’ll know as soon as you start the engine. When the catalytic converter has been removed, your vehicle will make a loud roaring sound that’ll get louder as you push the gas pedal. Your car might also make a sputtering sound as you change speed, or you'll notice it's not driving smoothly. An increase in the exhaust — or the exhaust smells — can be a definite sign of a stolen catalytic converter. In summary, here are the key symptoms that your catalytic converter has been removed: Loud roar when you start the car, louder as you accelerate Increase in exhaust fumes, or unusual exhaust smells Missing parts under vehicle leading to muffler Uneven or sputtering acceleration due to lack of exhaust regulation Check engine light or inspection failures 5 Likes 1 Share |

Catalytic converters are increasingly a target for thieves due to: The current market value of a catalytic converter’s precious metals The ease of removing a catalytic converter for an experienced thief The inability to track catalytic converters In the current market, catalytic converters can be resold to recyclers for as little as $50 or to precious metal dealers for as much as thousands of dollars per ounce, reported the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). Because advanced models of catalytic converters include even more precious metals than older models, thieves have an increasingly attractive opportunity to make quick cash. Experienced thieves can remove a catalytic converter in minutes, especially with modern power tools, according to Edmunds. Plus, there are no tracking systems on a catalytic converter 2 Likes |
