In a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, the catalytic converter is typically located right after the headers and before the main exhaust piping as the headers extend down from the bottom of the engine. This is a common spot for a catalytic converter in most vehicles. The main purpose of the catalytic converter is to clean the exhaust gases from the engine, making them safer before they are released into the environment through the exhaust system. When a catalytic converter starts to fail, it can trigger a check engine light as one of the O2 sensors detects emissions issues. Replacing a catalytic converter can be costly because they contain rare and precious metals that help in filtering out contaminants.

    Do all three of them need to be installed because I have a 2004 model that a young kid used and removed them? It has a 5.7 Hemi engine that's too noisy and causing a rough drive.
