The purpose of a catalytic converter is to reduce harmful exhaust emissions by chemically converting poisonous gases into less harmful ones through an oxidizing reaction.

Remove the nuts securing the exhaust manifold heat shield. It is helpful to apply a little penetrating oil to the studs before beginning.

On these models, the catalytic converter is part of the exhaust manifold, requiring the unbolting and setting aside of the power steering pump and several other components at the rear of the engine to remove the exhaust manifold/converter from the top.
