Identifying Hyundai Catalytic Converters for Scrap
How to Identify and Sell Hyundai Catalytic Converters with RRCats
The helpful thing about Hyundai is that they share a parent company with Kia, so they keep their serial numbers simple and similar. They typically feature a serial number with 5–6 letters and numbers. These identifiers are usually stamped directly on the silver heat shield, so it’s essential not to remove the shield before sending photos for a quote.
One thing to look out for is that many of the serial codes are on the catalytic converter’s outside shield, which is easily removable.
Where Can I Locate The 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.
If the serial number is missing or not visible after removing the shield, our team will rely on photo grading alone, which may result in a less accurate price. For the best quote, send clear images of the full unit with the shield intact and the serial number visible.
Common Serial Numbers:
There have been dozens of Hyundai and Kia models throughout the years, so there are dozens of serial numbers, but below are some common ones:
- U2FE15
- 3C180
- 2MC3U
- TSH41
- CNV01
- RHF
- DC
