Abstract
A catalytic converter includes a longitudinally disposed body portion having first and second shell halves and an interior in which first and second catalytic substrates are disposed. A divider is positioned between the first and second catalytic substrates and is selectively attachable to accommodate substrates of various relative sizes. The divider includes first and second divider halves, with each divider half having a pair of flanges which extend perimetrically and substantially completely along the interior wall of one shell half. The portion of the interior wall of each shell to which the divider flanges are attached has a greater longitudinal extent than the longitudinal extent of the pair of divider flanges to allow selective placement of the dividers in the converter body portion. The divider flanges are disposed substantially parallel to the interior wall and are coupled thereto. The divider flanges include a portion which is recessed inwardly from the interior wall. This portion provides a passageway between the substrates and first and second mating sections. The first mating section includes a stud and the second mating section includes an aperture. The aperture of the second mating section is sized and positioned to receive the stud of the first mating section.
