Which outcome occurs when exhaust flow bypasses a catalyst?

💡 Explanation

Increased nitrogen oxide emission results, because the catalytic converter facilitates reactions via surface adsorption, specifically redox, and therefore the bypass prevents conversion rather than decreasing particulate emissions. Alternate pathways and fuel efficiency are negligibly affected.
