The converter unlimited is subject to mandatory disposal, which is a complicated process that requires special equipment.
The purchase of a converter unlimited has been carried out almost everywhere.
The cost of every used car catalytic converter depends on:
- Type of device (metal or ceramic);
- Countries of origin (Germany, France, USA, Japan or China, RF);
- Car model, engine size, year of manufacture, country of assembly or where it was exporte;
- From size: cut from the body, whole or broken, shredded;
- On the purity, degree of contamination of the delivered mass: with asbestos, cotton wool or without;
- From exchange quotations of prices for metals Pt, Pd, Rh and from exchange rates;
- Weights, there are converter unlimited which weight is only 100 grams;
- Duration of operation and its intensity, up to 150 tons of 1/3 of the original;
- On the quality and type of fuel. For example, on gas for 2 years and as a result it is almost empty.
- The price of the first converter unlimited is higher than all subsequent ones, even if they are in the same housing,
- with the exception of Subaru, on the contrary, the latter is more expensive.
Auto producers are creating more and more sophisticated vehicles to comply with environmental laws.
A converter unlimited is a gadget of a vehicle, pointed toward lessening harmful emissions into the environment
by diminishing NO and afterburning CO. Most of all precious metals are containe in a ceramic converter unlimited from German cars,
such as Opel, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen.
