About the 17143-747-68H Catalytic Converter

Everything you need to know before you sell

The 17143-747-68H is an OEM catalytic converter used on the 2004–2006 Lexus LX 570. It is classified as a Small Foreign Converter and weighs approximately 16.9 lbs. Small foreign catalytic converters are compact units found on Japanese and European import vehicles. Despite their smaller size, they often contain premium PGM loadings to meet strict emissions standards.

Like all catalytic converters, the 17143-747-68H contains three platinum group metals (PGMs): platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These metals are embedded in the ceramic or metallic honeycomb substrate inside the converter shell. When the converter reaches the end of its service life, these metals can be recovered through a refining process and sold on the precious metals market.

PGM Content Breakdown

Based on typical assay results for the 17143-747-68H unit, this converter contains approximately 6.88 grams of platinum, 8.12 grams of palladium, and 1.98 grams of rhodium. At current spot prices (platinum $1,050/troy oz, palladium $1,020/troy oz, rhodium $4,800/troy oz) and a standard 72% recovery rate, the gross metal value works out to approximately $521.

The actual price offered by a recycler will depend on the condition of the converter, the current PGM market, and the recycler's processing costs. Prices quoted on this page are estimates based on today's spot prices and should not be taken as a guaranteed offer. Commodity prices change every trading day.
