Installation Notes
Confirm the vehicle is a left-side application before ordering. This part uses a 3-bolt loose flange with flare inlet and a 3-bolt welded flange outlet, so matching the existing exhaust connection style is important for proper installation. The converter includes inlet and outlet gaskets, but inlet hardware and outlet hardware are not included.
For Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, verify the GVW rating, emissions configuration, and state restrictions before installation. This part number is Catco 9081, and it is intended for direct-fit replacement on the listed applications.
Quality Assurance
Catco uses proprietary substrate chemistry and advanced manufacturing methods to build converters to exact OE dimensions and fitment. Automated workstations, spinner welding equipment, and high-speed production lines are used to support consistent construction and competitive pricing across the Catco 9081 application range.
This part cross-references Walker Exhaust (e.g., 16348) for the same application.
