Historical Prices for DPF “Catalytic Converter”



DPFs (Diesel Particulate Filters) are a specific emissions control device found on diesel engines. Unlike catalytic converters focusing on chemical filtration, DPFs are designed to physically trap soot, dirt, ash, and other particulate matter from diesel exhaust systems. DPFs are valued between $9 and $758, depending on the type, size, and recoverable material inside.

While not every DPF has high scrap value, some OEM units—especially from trucks, buses, or larger diesel systems—can have significant worth. Because it’s not always obvious which type of DPF you have, the best way to get an accurate price is to send us photos of the filter and any serial numbers so we can evaluate it.

Our team at RRCats grades each DPF based on its construction, remaining filter material, and market trends. We’ll provide a quote once we’ve reviewed your images.

What Is a DPF?

A Diesel Particulate Filter is an emissions device installed on diesel vehicles to trap and reduce particulate emissions, such as black soot, ash, and exhaust contaminants. This helps improve air quality and meet emissions regulations.

DPFs are different from standard catalytic converters because they use a filtration method rather than a chemical reaction, though some vehicles may use both a cat and DPF in the same exhaust system. Due to their unique construction and variation across diesel vehicles, it’s important to send photos for proper identification and quoting.
