Abstract
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a catalyst converter which can hold a sufficient amount of catalyst to raise the temperature thereof to the catalyst activation temperature in a short time without enlarging the metal carrier itself. The metal carrier 1 is arranged in the course of an exhaust manifold 3 of an engine 2 and is composed of an alternating winding of a flat sheet 7 and a corrugated sheet 8, wherein slit parts 9 are formed in the flat sheet 7 and the corrugated sheet 8 of the metal carrier 1 in an end portion thereof, on the side the engine 2.
