Key Features:
High Flow Performance: Our catalytic converters are built to meet OEM specifications and have EPA certification. They also feature a high flow design to increase conversion efficiency and vehicle power without sacrificing flow rate.
Stainless Steel Out Shell: The high flow catalytic converters with heavy-duty stainless steel construction feature maximum durability. Firmly welded connections can withstand high temper and pressures for longer service life.
Flange to Flange Design: These free-flow catalytic converters have bolt-on connections and flange to flange design for effortless installation. They're also complete with full accessories as gaskets and hardware, facilitating your replacement.
Internal Honeycomb Structure: Such high flow converters are designed with honeycomb structures. They turn pernicious gases, such as CO, HC, NOx, into innocuous ones like CO₂, H₂O, N₂, contributing to the purification of exhaust gases.
Compliance with OBD III： The direct-fit catalytic converters are compliant with OBD III Standards but not with CARB. Thus, they can be used in most states except California, not legal for use on vehicles required to meet CA emission standards.
FIVE CHECKS BEFORE REPLACING A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Converters don’t fail on their own, complete these five checks before replacing a catalytic converter:
1. Retrieve / repair all PCM trouble codes, check for any available TSBs or PCM re-flash updates
2. Repair all exhaust leaks
3. Make sure vehicle is in proper fuel control
4. Always check for internal coolant leaks and excessive oil consumption
5. Make sure you have the right part for the application
WHY A CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILS:
Converters don’t fail on their own; failure is usually a symptom of a larger problem. This is why it is important to identify the root cause of the failure and perform the repair prior to installing a new converter. Most catalytic converter failures fall under one of three categories:
Overheated, melted or broken converters
Coated/oil-fouled substrate
Structural damage
DIRECT-FIT VS. UNIVERSAL CONVERTERS:
Universal fit catalytic converters have a customizable design with expandable bushings to adapt to connector pipes based on the repair. They may require specialized fabrication and welding for installation. pre-bent routings hangers and flanges for OE-style direct-fit catalytic converters attach to the exhaust system for a direct-fit bolt-off, bolt-on solution. No matter what you select, all converters must meet the emission requirements of the vehicle and cannot be chosen by size alone.
WHAT TO DO IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON?
Troubleshoot an illuminated check engine light by making sure the gas and oil caps are on tight and that the oil dipstick is seated correctly. If the light remains lit, it could be triggered by a faulty oxygen sensor, failing catalytic converter, bad spark plugs, malfunctioning thermostat or bad mass air flow sensor. If the light remains on, make sure to make an appointment with your service provider as soon as possible.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EPA AND CARB CONVERTERS:
EPA-compliant catalytic converters are for use on EPA or Federal emissions certified-vehicles. EPA-compliant catalytic converters cannot be sold or installed in California and Colorado and in certain circumstances in Maine and New York. In those states, you must install a CARB-compliant catalytic converter on CARB emissions certified vehicles in the states of California and Colorado, on all vehicles. CARB-compliant converters contain more catalyst material in order to converter emissions more efficiently and comply with stricter emissions reduction requirements. Check the vehicle’s emissions control information label and consult your state’s aftermarket converter regulations to select the right catalytic converter.
