Stop those deadly emissions gases try a new Catalytic Converter.

"the catalytic converter is located in the exhaust system and has an outer shell made of stainless steel. The catalytic converter contains a catalyst made from platinum, palladium or rhodium. A catalyst is defined as anything that induces or accelerates a change. At least one catalytic converter has been used on cars since 1975. Today, cars may have two or more depending on the engine configuration and manufacturer"

"The catalytic converter's job is to greatly reduce the level of harmful emissions in a car's exhaust. Mostly, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. These emissions are serious health and environmental hazards, and they contribute to the formation of photochemical smog. A catalytic converter changes these poisonous gases to harmless carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, and water. The catalytic converter can almost be thought of as an engine of its own. The converter uses fuel and oxygen to burn off its internal catalyst, which consumes a large portion of the gases flowing through the converter. Although a converter greatly reduces emissions, it does not eliminate them entirely."
