Catalytic Converters

Catalytic Converters in San Diego, CA

Modern automobiles and other vehicles are expected to run cleanly and efficiently. The process may be a messy one, however. In an internal combustion engine, air and gas are incinerated, whereby they produce carbon monoxide and other substances which are harmful to the atmosphere. Your car or pickup combats this event with an exhaust system that includes a catalytic converter. Our team at Dualtone of San Diego has the skills to provide superior service for catalytic converter repair, replacement and installation.

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:

Introducing Our New Services

  • CATCLAMP Installations
  • CATSHIELD Installations 

We are proud to announce that CATSHIELDS & CATCLAMPS installations are now a part of Dualtone’s services. We are joining the fight against Catalytic Converter Theft!

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


  • Your Prius converter is worth hundreds of dollars and only takes a few minutes to steal.
  • Thieves will increasingly target your Prius because the prices for precious metals keep skyrocketing.
  • The CATSHIELD design decreases the chances and willingness of a thief to steal your converter through the full protective covering and range of different “not sold in stores or online” tamper-proof hardware combinations.
  • CATSHIELDS are removeable for your Mechanic to do maintenance
  • Undercar shrouds or shields may increase the aerodynamic properties of your vehicle.


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).
