Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Dorman catalytic converter features a cylindrical stainless steel body measuring 4 inches in length and 3.89 inches in width, providing a robust and corrosion-resistant housing. The inlet and outlet are both flanged, with the inlet inside diameter at 3.47 inches and the outlet outside diameter at 3.4 inches, ensuring a precise fit to the exhaust system. The converter includes one inlet and one outlet, each with three mounting holes, and comes with inlet and outlet gaskets to facilitate a proper seal. The ceramic substrate inside the converter is designed to reduce harmful emissions effectively, although this part is not CARB certified. The converter does not include a heat shield and has no sensor ports, making it suitable for vehicles without oxygen sensor requirements at this location.

Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications

  • Replacement catalytic converter for Nissan Pathfinder models
  • Compatible with Infiniti QX4 exhaust systems
  • Addresses issues related to exhaust emissions and catalytic efficiency
  • Suitable for vehicles requiring a specific fit catalytic converter with flanged connections

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 679-509 catalytic converter, ensure the flanged inlet and outlet align correctly with the vehicle’s exhaust manifold and downstream piping. The included gaskets and mounting hardware should be used to achieve a secure and leak-free connection. Verify that the mounting holes correspond to the vehicle’s exhaust flange pattern. Since this converter does not have a heat shield or sensor ports, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s sensor setup before installation.
