Detailed Description

Davico Dealer Alternative Exact-Fit Catalytic Converters are engineered to match the original equipment sample parts used on the vehicle platform, helping maintain proper exhaust flow and emissions control performance. This catalytic converter is a fit for 2000-2005 Buick LeSabre, center, and 2001-2005 Pontiac Bonneville, center, with Federal Emissions noted for the LeSabre application. The Davico 49230 is built for drivers replacing a worn or failed converter on an OBDII vehicle and looking for a direct-fit exhaust component that follows the original configuration. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring emissions control when the original converter is no longer functioning properly
• Addressing catalyst efficiency fault codes tied to exhaust aftertreatment
• Replacing a damaged or restricted center exhaust converter
• Maintaining proper exhaust routing on the listed Buick and Pontiac applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s emissions configuration before installation, especially on the 2000-2005 Buick LeSabre application. Use the included gaskets during installation and confirm all flange and pipe connections are aligned before tightening. Davico also notes use of decarbonizing induction kit 1540EA with this part number 49230.

Quality Assurance

Davico builds this converter from original equipment sample parts and uses a high-quality emissions-reducing catalyst to support proper operation on current OBDII vehicles.
