There is provided a composite catalytic converter (10) for removing pollutant materials from an exhaust gas stream. The converter (10) is composed of an electrically heatable catalytic converter (18) and a conventional ceramic catalytic converter (12) in juxtaposed or embedded axial relationship whereby axial movement in a downstream direction of the electrically heatable catalytic converter core (18) is resisted. <IMAGE>
