Anyone know what a 3-way catalytic converter is?

I've found that our cars use a 3-way catalytic converter however I'm not sure on what it means.




Anyone changed their catalytic converter with aftermarket or stock?

Anyone know if we have 1 or two catalytic converters?

Well, I've found some info about them however not all.


It seems most new cars comes with a 3 way catalytic converter including ours. the 3 way refers to the three regulated emissions it helps to resude and doesn't have anything to do with design or stages.

My guess is we have only a single Catalytic converter like most cars with a single pipe exhaust but please do share if you know otherwise.

Here's the link on where I've found the info about the 3 way cats.
