Abstract: A system includes an exhaust conduit coupled, at least first end of the exhaust conduit, to an internal combustion; a catalytic converter coupled to a second end of the exhaust conduit; and electromagnetic wave source configured to emit electromagnetic energy; and a wave guide, coupled at a first end to the electromagnetic wave source and at a second end to the exhaust conduit, and extending between the electromagnetic wave source and the exhaust conduit. The electromagnetic wave source is configured to provide the electromagnetic energy, via the wave guide, to exhaust gas traveling through the exhaust conduit.
