Are you experiencing issues with your vehicle’s emissions system, indicated by a persistent check engine light or error codes like P0420? Upgrading to a high-quality OBD2 catalytic converter can be the solution you need. This EURO4 quality catalytic converter is engineered to reduce harmful emissions, eliminate annoying error codes, and ensure your vehicle meets stringent environmental standards.
An OBD2 catalytic converter is a crucial component of your vehicle’s emission control system. It plays a vital role in reducing pollutants such as कार्बन मोनोऑक्साइड (CO), हाइड्रोकार्बन (HC), and नाइट्रोजन ऑक्साइड (Nox) from your exhaust gases. By using a three-way catalytic process, this converter effectively cleans up your vehicle’s exhaust, making it more environmentally friendly and helping you pass emissions tests. If your original catalytic converter has failed, often indicated by the dreaded P0420 code, replacing it with a new, high-performance OBD2 compliant unit is essential.
This direct-fit catalytic converter is designed for a wide range of vehicles, specifically those with 4, 5, 6, and 8 cylinder engines ranging from 1.3L to 6.2L. It’s built to meet or exceed EURO4 emission standards, ensuring optimal performance and compliance.

Important Recommendations Before Purchase and Installation:
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your new catalytic converter, and to avoid complications, please consider the following recommendations carefully before purchasing and during installation:
- Ask Questions: Do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have before making your purchase to ensure this catalytic converter is the right fit for your vehicle and needs.
- Address the Root Cause: Before installing the new converter, it is absolutely critical to identify and repair the underlying issue that caused the original catalytic converter to fail. Catalytic converter failure is often a symptom of other engine problems, such as:
- Rich Fuel Mixture: An excessively rich fuel mixture can overload and damage the catalytic converter.
- Oil Leaks: Oil burning or leaks into the exhaust system can contaminate and destroy the catalytic converter’s internal components.
- Coolant Leaks: Coolant leaks into the exhaust can also harm the converter.
- Faulty Oxygen Sensors: Malfunctioning oxygen sensors can lead to incorrect fuel trim and catalytic converter damage.
- Professional Installation is Highly Recommended: We strongly advise having this catalytic converter installed by a certified mechanic. Proper installation is crucial for performance, longevity, and warranty validity.
- Avoid Forced Installation: Any forced or improper installation will void the warranty and negate any possibility of a refund.
- Tune-Up Your Vehicle: Perform a complete vehicle tune-up. This may include replacing spark plugs, air filters, and fuel filters to ensure optimal engine performance.
- Comprehensive Diagnostic Check: Conduct a thorough diagnostic check of your vehicle using a professional scan tool and gas analyzer. This will help identify any underlying issues and confirm the need for catalytic converter replacement.
- Rule Out Blue or Black Smoke: Ensure your vehicle is not emitting blue or black smoke from the exhaust, as this indicates engine oil burning or a rich fuel condition that must be resolved.
- Oxygen Sensor Inspection: Check the functionality of your oxygen sensors with a scan tool, analyzing their graphs and voltage readings to ensure they are operating within specifications.
- Temperature Sensor Check: Verify the correct operation of the engine temperature sensor, as incorrect readings can affect fuel mixture and emissions.
- Spark Plug Wires and Coils: Inspect spark plug wires and ignition coils for wear or damage, replacing them as needed to ensure proper ignition.
- Spark Plug Calibration: Calibrate spark plugs according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications or Champion catalog recommendations.
- Use Original Spark Plugs: Utilize original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spark plugs for your vehicle make and model to guarantee compatibility and performance.
- Exhaust Leak Inspection: Check for any exhaust leaks upstream of the catalytic converter, as leaks can affect its efficiency and sensor readings.
- Engine Vacuum Leak Check: Inspect for engine vacuum leaks, as these can disrupt engine performance and emissions.
- State-Specific Emission Requirements: If you have specific emission requirements in your state or region, such as stricter standards, inquire before purchasing to ensure this converter meets those requirements.
- Consult Your Automotive Advisor: If you are unsure whether this product is suitable for your specific vehicle, consult with your trusted automotive advisor or mechanic.
- Installation Location: This catalytic converter is designed to be installed in the exhaust pipe system, typically downstream from the exhaust manifold.
- Primary Catalytic Converter Location: Be aware that some vehicle makes and sub-models utilize a primary catalytic converter located in the exhaust manifold. This replacement converter is generally for the secondary or main catalytic converter position in the exhaust system.
Important Precaution:
This catalytic converter operates at high temperatures, exceeding 300 degrees Celsius (572 degrees Fahrenheit) once it reaches operating temperature. Exercise caution and allow the exhaust system to cool completely before working near or around the catalytic converter.
