This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine light concerns related to catalytic converter efficiency codes
• Failed emissions inspection results on Federal OBDII vehicles
• Restricted exhaust flow caused by a deteriorated converter
• Corrosion-related exhaust leaks at the converter assembly
• Fitment issues from universal-style replacement parts

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla, 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix, and 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe. Verify the vehicle’s emissions configuration and sensor placement before installation. The direct-fit design uses bolt-on inlet attachment and clamp-on outlet attachment, and the post-converter oxygen sensor location should match the original system layout. Part number 096-1662 is intended for vehicles following Federal/EPA OBDII standards.
