Is Korean Catalyst Advisable? by DanielsParker(op): 10:05am On Apr 30, 2023

I’ve gotten fed up with my car's unpleasant sound, so I was making inquiries about catalyst for my car and my mechanic suggested I get Korean catalyst since the other one can be very expensive.

Please what is this Korean catalyst and how’s the performance?
Will it enhance my car’s sound and fuel efficiency?

Who has used this “Korean Catalyst “?

Lol so no one has ever heard about it?
Maybe not generally known as “Korean”, but maybe something different from the usual real and expensive one?

So metallic nets welded/melted together?
You think that will reduce emission of poisonous gases

to an average Nigerian, catalytic converters are to help with fuel economy and exhaust noise. An average Nigeria car user does not care about the conversion of harmful gases which is the primary responsibility of the catalytic converter.

The next grade to Japanese Briscoe is what they term "Korea Briscoe" works fine, far far far better than China made.

Good day all, good news is that I’ve gotten the “catalyst “. My fuel consumption is now moderate, my “check engine” light has gone away. I’ve got nothing on my dashboard now. I’m so excited!
Now, it’s time to be extra careful with these mechanics. Anyway I’ve got just one mechanic and he’s aware I bought a catalyst.

so the catalytic converters worked well?

Did it serve the purpose of reducing fuel consumption?

How long did they last for?

Lastly, I would attach pictures if the ones I just recently purchased so u tell me if it's quite similar.

Yes it’s similar.. this is just the exhaust catalyst. To get maximum performance, you also need to get for the engine. That’s if you don’t have those ones.
And, yes I’m still using it

Okay thanks.

I'm installing them next week.

I would keep you posted on the ones I finally installed.

I believe my vehicle has 4 catalytic converter pots.

Perhaps they may all need to be of same shape and size.
