Scrapping a Mazda catalytic converter? These converters often have unique stamped serial numbers that help our team identify the unit and provide an accurate quote. Mazda converters are typically graded as Foreign Pre, Small Foreign, or Medium Foreign depending on size, weight, and ceramic content.

Mazda Converter Identification Tips

If you’re new to scrapping, Mazda catalytic converters might look like any other converter. However, there are a few key traits that set them apart.

Cheese Grater-Like Shield

Often referred to as a “cheese grater” shield because of its numerous small holes, it protects the internal components. Still, it makes it trickier to identify if no logo or branding is apparent.

These units may lack visible numbers.

If you don’t see a serial number at first, don’t worry! It’s common for them to be hidden under the shield or on the edge, where wear and tear may have obscured them over time.

Common Serial Numbers on Mazda Cats

Serial numbers are usually found along the body or stamped onto the shield of the converter. Providing clear images of both the full unit and any visible serials helps speed up your quote and ensures accurate pricing. See some common serials below:

  • L3H8-7B2
  • L3p 2055x
  • N3H4
