Scion tC's with 2 Catalytic Converters?
 
Why does the car have 2 Catalytic Converters, one in the Exhaust manifold and one underneath the car?

Does anybody know?

maybe to actually pass emissions?

A lot of new cars are coming with 2. Maybe to create less pollution

yeah they are trying to pass emissions.. it's amazing, two catalytics and we still get good hp! wow

Yea, but its a pain in the ___ when you get the sulfur smell, there's a TSB for the 05 models with sulfur/egg smell coming from the cat, due to excessive acceleration and/or stop and go driving,

Already replaced one... =\

YAY! I prat to all that is holy my cat goes out. In California you can not replace your catalytic converter unless it malfunctions or is damaged. So if mine goes kaput.. I can replace it with a CARB legal High flow Cat :D

They did that for 2 reasons. 1st California emissions. 2nd to create a ULEV vehicle. Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle.

Making the tC a ULEV vehicle hurt the aftermarket for this car in Califorina btw. The RSX-S and now the Civic SI are not ULEV Vehicles.
