Not sure about heating pads. They're not really supposed to go much above 100 C. Catalytic converters, on the other hand, have an operating temperature of around 450 C. I'm tending to think that any sort of heating pad would burn off in a relatively short period of time.

Now, there are cats out there that have built-in heating coils - I think BMW uses them.
