AP Exhaust 912096 Catalytic Converter - Right

CARB-Compliant Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter

AP Exhaust 912096 is a CARB compliant direct-fit catalytic converter built for exact OE dimensions and fitment. It uses a stainless steel body, a ceramic substrate, and a 2-bolt loose flange inlet with spherical flare for a factory-style replacement on select Ford trucks and SUVs.

Compatible With 1997-2000 Ford Expedition and Ford F-150, right side applications, plus select 1998 and 1997 Ford F-250 right-side California emissions configurations. The AP Exhaust VFM4.6J8G1EK line is engineered for precise fitment and emissions compliance in California applications.
