Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removal of the existing catalytic converter and replacement with the Eastern Convertors 40161 unit. The 2 bolt welded inlet and outlet flanges align with factory mounting points, but ensure that the included inlet and outlet gaskets are properly seated to prevent exhaust leaks. Since no installation hardware is included, reuse existing bolts or acquire appropriate fasteners.
