Detailed Description

Davico 16170 is an OE-style catalytic converter assembly for Ford E-150 Econoline, E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, E-250 Econoline, E-250, E-350 Econoline, and E-350 Super Duty front applications listed below. The Exact-Fit Catalytic Converter line is built around original equipment sample parts so the converter aligns with the factory exhaust layout and supports proper emissions system operation. This part number 16170 is configured with dual 2-bolt loose flange inlets and a 3-bolt fixed flange outlet for the specified Y-pipe with two-converter setup.

This part cross-references Davico decarbonizing induction kit 1540ea for the same application. Compatible Ford E-150 Econoline, Ford E-250 Econoline, and Ford E-350 Super Duty front exhaust repairs often require a direct-match converter like this when the original unit is restricted, damaged, or no longer passing emissions testing.

What It Helps Address

• Failed emissions test caused by a worn or inefficient catalytic converter
• Check engine light related to catalyst efficiency codes
• Restricted exhaust flow from a damaged converter substrate
• Exhaust leaks at flange connections when the original converter is corroded
• Factory-fit replacement needs on front exhaust assemblies for Ford E-Series vans
