1. A catalytic converter comprising:
a first catalyst case that houses a catalyst that cleans a fluid;
a second catalyst case that houses a catalyst that cleans the fluid on a downstream side of the first catalyst case; and
a connecting portion on which a sensor that detects the fluid is mounted, the connecting portion being connected between the first catalyst case and the second catalyst case, wherein:
the connecting portion includes a first flow path of the fluid,
the first catalyst case includes a second flow path of the fluid,
the second catalyst case includes a third flow path of the fluid,
a sectional area of the first flow path is smaller than a sectional area of the second flow path,
the first flow path is provided such that a displacement width with respect to the second flow path on a mounting position side of the sensor is larger than a displacement width on an opposite side of the first flow path from the mounting position, and
the second flow path is inclined with respect to the third flow path.
