Scrapping Hyundai & KIA Catalytic Converters

Like Toyota’s serial coding system – Hyundai and Kia do a very good job of keeping it simple. Their serial codes could be 3-5 characters long, making finding and getting quotes much easier. One thing to look out for is that many of the serial codes are on the outside shield of the catalytic converter, and that shield is easily removable.

Easy-To-Read Serial Numbers

Do not be surprised if you see both manufacturers’ names or logos on these cats, as they are often made for different vehicles to be interchangeable for installs. This could be for ease of installation or even just for general swap-outs.

Hyundai is the parent company of KIA. Hyundai & KIA Cats are easily identified as they have their logo stamped on the cat & the shield, and the serial numbers are in big letters. This makes it easy to identify them and to tell that it is an OEM Catalytic Converter.
