Housed in a stainless shell, this converter's ceramic or metallic honeycomb is coated with a precious-metal washcoat that converts CO, HC, and NOx into less harmful gases as exhaust passes through. Positioned in-line between the exhaust manifold and the downstream pipe, it works in tandem with the oxygen sensors and the PCM to maintain stoichiometric combustion and consistent tailpipe readings. It is inspected for substrate integrity, clean flanges, and clear sensor bungs.
Owners replace the converter when the original is clogged, rattling from a broken substrate, or triggering a P0420-type efficiency code. A healthy unit clears that code after a completed drive cycle, reduces exhaust restriction to recover low-end torque and economy, eliminates the rattle, and restores proper thermal behavior to protect the rest of the exhaust.
INCLUDED The catalytic converter as photographed, with a clamp where shown. NOT INCLUDED Gaskets, bolts, O2 sensors, and any tuning or programming (none is required). Tools You Need Standard exhaust tools and new gaskets and bolts as needed; no tuning or programming is required.
