Detailed Description

Davico’s Dealer Alternative Exact-Fit Catalytic Converter line is engineered as an alternative to OE replacement converters for vehicles that are more affected by age, mileage, and poor maintenance. Part number 4V023 is cataloged for the 2001 Volvo S60 and 2001 Volvo V70 in the front position, with fitment-specific flange and gasket details that support a direct exhaust-system replacement. The 4V023 design combines O.E.M.-style wash coat technology with larger substrates and increased oxygen storage capacity to address emission control needs in these applications. This part number 4V023 is also identified with two oxygen sensor locations and the included inlet and outlet gaskets for the listed fitment.

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

Used For

• Replacing a worn or inefficient catalytic converter.
• Addressing exhaust flow restriction caused by substrate deterioration.
• Restoring emission control function after high-mileage wear.
• Correcting catalyst efficiency issues tied to maintenance-related degradation.
• Servicing a front exhaust converter on the listed Volvo models.

Installation Notes

Verify flange style, oxygen sensor count, and overall length before installation. This converter is listed with a 3-bolt fixed flange inlet and a 2-bolt fixed flange outlet, so matching the exhaust connection points is important for proper fit. Use the Davico decarbonizing induction kit 1540ea when specified by the manufacturer. Check local emissions regulations before installation, as this application is not legal for use in California and is illegal for installation in New York on vehicles equipped with California emission systems.

Quality Assurance

Davico’s Dealer Alternative line is positioned as an exact-fit alternative to OE replacement converters, with construction details aimed at maintaining catalyst performance in demanding service conditions.
