About the Toyota Tundra Catalytic Converter
The Toyota Tundra is Toyota’s full size pickup truck, manufactured in San Antonio, Texas since 2007. The catalytic converter is a critical emissions control component installed in the exhaust system. Inside the converter, a ceramic honeycomb substrate coated with platinum, palladium, and rhodium converts harmful exhaust gases (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons) into less harmful carbon dioxide and water vapor. The Tundra typically has multiple catalytic converters per the live page FAQ: early models (1st gen 2000 to 2006) had two cats. Second generation (2007 onwards) and third generation Tundras are equipped with four catalytic converters total (two per bank on the V8 engines). This unit is one of the cats; call to confirm which position (upstream or downstream, driver or passenger side) matches your needs.
Our used Tundra catalytic converter is built with high grade stainless steel housing and ceramic honeycomb substrates, in spun body construction. It is federal OBDII compliant. CARB compliant options are available for sale into California and the CARB compliance states (Colorado, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington). Always confirm CARB status at order if you live in a CARB compliance state.
Important note about catalytic converter theft
Toyota Tundras are among the most frequently targeted vehicles for catalytic converter theft due to part accessibility (high ground clearance) and high precious metal content. If your cat was stolen, we recommend taking immediate steps to deter future theft: installing an anti theft device, parking in garages or well lit areas, and etching your VIN on the new cat before installation. We can apply VIN etching service on your replacement before shipping at no extra cost. Just provide your VIN at order.
Signs Your Tundra Cat May Need Replacement
- Check Engine Light with codes P0420 or P0430 (catalyst efficiency below threshold)
Visible damage to the cat housing (theft attempt, road debris strike)
- Loud roaring exhaust noise from underneath the truck (indicates damaged or removed cat)
Sulfur or rotten egg smell from the exhaust
Poor fuel economy combined with loss of power
Failed state emissions inspection
