Mini Catalizador: The Perfect Solution for Modified Car Exhaust Issues
Have you encountered engine warning lights like CEL (Check Engine Light), SES (Service Engine Soon), or MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light)? Are you frustrated by issues caused by installing straight pipes, high-flow catalytic converters, test pipes, catless exhaust systems, or high-performance exhaust setups? If so, Mini Catalizador (Mini Catalytic Converter) is your ideal choice, effectively eliminating common P0420 and P0430 error codes!
What is Mini Catalizador?
Mini Catalizador is a newly designed high-performance oxygen sensor extender with an integrated 400-cell mini catalytic converter. It works by moving the oxygen sensor away from the direct exhaust flow, reducing its sensitivity to exhaust anomalies. Simultaneously, it simulates the normal functioning of a catalytic converter, “tricking” the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) into avoiding warning lights.
Applicable Scenarios
- High-flow catalytic converters or catless exhaust systems after modification
- Turbocharged or naturally aspirated high-performance exhaust upgrades
- Compatible with vehicles equipped with M18 x 1.5mm oxygen sensor ports, covering 99% of vehicles on the market
Key Advantages of Mini Catalizador
-
Built-in Mini Catalytic Converter
Featuring a ceramic honeycomb structure coated with precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium, it effectively catalyzes harmful exhaust gases (such as NOx, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons), reducing emissions and optimizing engine performance. -
Wide Compatibility
Compatible with various brands and models, including BMW, Audi, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, with engine displacements ranging from 1.6L to 6.3L. -
Durable Materials
Made from US-manufactured T-304 stainless steel, it offers exceptional corrosion resistance and withstands temperatures up to 620°C. Unlike galvanized carbon steel, it won’t peel or rust under high temperatures, ensuring long-term reliability. -
Easy Installation
No welding or electrical modifications are needed; installation takes only a few minutes. It is also easy to remove, making it ideal for DIY enthusiasts.
How Mini Catalizador Works
In OBD-II vehicles (1996 and newer models), the ECU relies on two oxygen sensors to monitor exhaust emissions:
- Upstream Oxygen Sensor: Adjusts the air-fuel ratio to ensure the engine runs efficiently.
- Downstream Oxygen Sensor: Verifies whether the catalytic converter is functioning properly.
When the exhaust system is modified with high-flow catalytic converters or catless setups, the downstream oxygen sensor may detect abnormal exhaust flow and temperature, triggering fault codes and causing the ECU to enter “limp mode.” The integrated catalytic element in Mini Catalizador reduces direct exposure of the sensor to exhaust gases, simulating the normal function of a catalytic converter. This effectively resolves common error codes like P0420 and P0430 with a success rate of 99.5%.
Product Specifications
- Material: T-304 Stainless Steel
- Heat Resistance: Up to 620°C
- Models: Available in straight, 45°, and 90° options to fit different installation spaces
Usage Tips
- For dual exhaust systems (e.g., V6 or V8 engines), it is recommended to install one Mini Catalizador per exhaust pipe.
- Before installation, ensure the oxygen sensor port size (M18 x 1.5mm) and installation space match your requirements.
- Some vehicles with highly sensitive oxygen sensors or other exhaust system issues may still trigger warning lights despite using Mini Catalizador. Results may vary depending on the vehicle.
