Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a front-position application before ordering. Confirm flange orientation, inlet and outlet dimensions, and mounting points against the original converter before installation. Use the included inlet gasket and the supplied outlet mounting hardware during assembly, and inspect adjoining exhaust components for wear, rust, or gasket damage that could affect sealing. Dorman 679-500 is not CARB certified, so it is not for California-compliant applications.
