Martin,

A converter will have no affect on CO2. It will convert CO to CO2 I 
think. It may alter other gasses such as SO2 or SO3 and some Nitrogen 
compounds. But what goes in the converter comes out, maybe in a 
different form but the same elements. The only way I know of altering 
elements is by fusion and fission.

Also, it will get very hot during operation. It will require a heat 
shield of some sort.

The best bet is to keep your engine in top tune IMO.

Bob
