Detailed Description

This Davico catalytic converter is engineered as a direct-fit exhaust replacement for BMW center applications in the 328i, 328is, and M3 from 1996-1999. Part number 16131 is built around OE sample parts so the shape and function align with the original exhaust layout, while the catalyst is selected to meet the demands of OBDII-equipped vehicles. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Failed catalytic converter efficiency codes.
• Restricted exhaust flow from a worn converter.
• Emissions test failures related to converter performance.
• Fitment issues caused by non-OE-style exhaust replacement parts.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s emissions configuration before installation. This part is listed for center placement and includes gasket references 24004 for the inlet connections. Part number 16131 should be matched to the exact application shown in the fitment data, especially for vehicles with California emissions equipment restrictions.

Quality Assurance

Davico Exact-Fit Catalytic Converter parts are developed from OE sample parts and use emissions-reducing catalyst materials intended to meet OBDII vehicle demands.
