The fact that a Subaru Forester Catalytic Converter uses "noble metals" inside doesn't mean that the metals are "noble" in the royal sense - although they are very expensive. They do serve a noble purpose, however, which is to create a cleaner atmosphere and a greener world. "Noble" in the chemical sense means that the metals used - platinum, palladium and rhodium - are non-reactive with other elements.

Because of their unique properties, they are able to form a "catalyst" that actually "converts" deadly toxins like carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide into relatively harmless CO2 and water vapor. It achieves this by breaking molecular bonds and causing those molecules to recombine into less toxic compounds.

Because of the ceramic honeycomb structure used on modern catalytic converters, exhaust gases can flow through them more efficiently, meaning they are no longer the cumbersome, power-draining devices they were back in the 1970's. If your Subaru Forester Catalytic Converter isn't working properly, your engine may lose power or misfire, and your exhaust will start to smell like rotten eggs. What occasionally happens is this: when an engine is not properly maintained, unburned gas can make its way into the exhaust system and ignite there instead of the cylinder. In the old days, you would actually hear this as a backfire. Today, it will simply burn up in the catalytic converter, melting the inner components and blocking the exhaust system. You can check for this by removing the oxygen sensor and tailpipe, then revving the engine to around 4000 RPM. A whistling sound will confirm your worst fears.
