Historical Prices for Small Foil/Wire



Small Foil/Wire catalytic converters are a specific type of converter that uses a foil or wire mesh structure instead of the more common ceramic honeycomb inside. These converters can vary depending on the make and model, and are typically found in smaller vehicles. On average, Small Foil/Wire Cats range from $18 to $78, depending on weight, condition, and metal content.

Because foil and wire converters aren’t as visually obvious as ceramic-based units, it’s especially important to send us clear photos of the full converter and any serial numbers or markings. Our team at RRCats will review your photos and provide an accurate quote based on how we grade these specific types of units.

What Is a Small Foil/Wire Catalytic Converter?

Small Foil/Wire Cats use a layered metal mesh or foil instead of a ceramic “brick.” These converters may appear smaller or lighter than others, and the material inside often has a shiny or crinkled appearance. Because they vary across vehicle models, visual inspection is essential for proper grading.

If you think you have a Small Foil/Wire Cat or are unsure, the best step is to send us a few clear images and let our team confirm it for you. We’ll provide a fast quote and help you understand the value.
