Abstract
A catalytic converter includes a cylindrical casing employing multiple catalytic elements. The elements are cushioned on each end and about their periphery. The elements are also held in place by end set plates and a set plate in the middle extending transversely in the cylindrical casing. The set plate in the middle is free to move and adjust within the converter to eliminate excessive stress on the catalytic elements.
