Identifying Scrap Catalytic Converter Brands

What To Look For

Our team is here to help you continue to learn the most about catalytic converters and scrapping them. In this installment, we look at multiple manufacturers’ catalytic converters and what characteristics to look for to identify if they are OEM (what’s that?).

QUOTES FOR SERIAL NUMBERS

First, Look for that Serial Number!

The video below will be useful when looking for your cat’s serial number. It will help identify what kind and how much the converter is worth. Do not forget that not all serial numbers are in the same place or look the same.

Not All Serial Numbers Are The Same

Some have letters and numbers, and some have both in different orders. It is important to know that any set of numbers that you find should be sent to the RRCats.com team so we can get your catalytic converter quoted quickly. 

Finding Serial Number on Your Catalytic Converter:

Below is a list of the most popular and common catalytic converters sold for scrap. We have collected some of the common brands and vehicles with OEM cats, which we have recycled before. We will keep this guide updated with the latest information on catalytic converters. We help you identify them before you send them in for a quote.
