platinum is the most predominant element in catalytic converters along with palladium, rhodium, cerium, iron, manganese, xeon, nickel, and copper

Most newer passenger cars and trucks have one, two, ore even three. My V-8 has a small converter on each bank of the exhaust, and a third one just before the muffler where the exhaust is combined into one pipe. Original equipment catalytic converters use an expensive platinum catalyst. Many after market ones use a less expensive one. Good luck.
Most cars won't even run is the converter is clogged. Clogged converters can get very hot, maybe even start fires.
Cars. Back in 1976 it was mandated that all US cars have catalytic converters to transform the carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2). Was that a good thing or bad?..you decide
most expeditions have 1 but the 5.4 gots 4
There are many different catalysts found in cars and trucks, depending on the vehicle and the country it was manufactured for. The most common catalyst is platinum, along with the other platinum-group metals palladium and rhodium. Other metals are also commonly used.
Most recycle places that buy aluminum cans and the like will buy converters.
Old ones. Pre 1972's, before catalytic converters.

Most metal recyclers will take a catalytic converter, but be aware that Federal and State law enforcement is now requiring tracking information whenever someone tries to sell them. Stealing catalytic converters has become an industry for criminals and law enforcement has been watching closely.
