Catalytic Converters in San Diego, CA
Our Replacement Service Means Lower Emissions
The catalytic converter in your automobile, truck or SUV lowers emissions by creating a chemical reaction that alters harmful gases so that they are inert or less damaging to humans and to the environment. Ultimately, the gases pass through the muffler and tips and out into the world. California has specific rules regarding emissions and smog. At Dualtone, we are familiar with state requirements and can help ensure that your vehicle measures up to standards without compromising performance. An effective exhaust system is good for drivability and better for the environment. A quality part functions to do several tasks, including:

- Break down nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen
- Convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide
- Reduce unburnt hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water

If your not sure why this is a big deal- just ask a few Prius Owners. It is known that their catalytic converters are considered valuable and that converter theft is at a all time high especially within the Southern California. San Diego alone has replaced thousands of these converters bringing the cost into millions of dollars for those who have been involved in the crime.
CATSHIELD PROTECTION FACTS

CATCLAMPS
The best security system available for catalytic converters & diesel particulate filters.
Much like the CATSHEILD the CATCLAMP was invented to prevent thieves from stealing catalytic converters as well. The CATCLAMP attaches to the exhaust pipes, not the converter allowing ALL size and shaped converters to be protected.
This award-winning solution has a patented cable cage design that surrounds the catalytic converters with aircraft grade wire rope. (Incredibly Strong Material and Hard To Cut With Power Tools).
