Q: What Is the Maintenance Required for a Catalytic Converter on Dodge Daytona?
A: The catalytic converter reduces hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide pollutants in exhaust gases. It should be inspected for damage, cracks, and missing fasteners. When replacing, the exhaust system should be cool and new gaskets should be used. Penetrating oil should be applied to the clamp bolts and the nuts should be tightened to the specified torque. After installation, the engine should be started and checked for exhaust leaks.
