Everything you need to know before you sell
The 18307-A1609-48 is an OEM catalytic converter used on the 2011–2013 Honda Passport. It is classified as a Small Foreign Converter and weighs approximately 12.3 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 18307-A1609-48 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.
Based on typical assay results for the 18307-A1609-48 unit, this converter contains approximately 4.17 grams of platinum, 6.74 grams of palladium, and 0.86 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 $355.
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.
