Eastern Convertors 40796 Direct-Fit Manifold

Eastern Convertors 40796 is a Federal / EPA direct-fit catalytic converter with integrated exhaust manifold for specific Hyundai and Kia applications. Built to OE dimensions for the radiator-side front left position, it is made for clean fitment on the listed vehicles and uses ECO III catalyst technology with two O2 sensor ports.

Key Features

• Part number 40796
• DIRECT FIT product line for OE-style replacement fitment
• Federal / EPA direct-fit manifold design
• Integrated exhaust manifold construction
• ECO III catalyst type
• Two O2 sensor ports
• 7-bolt welded inlet and 2-bolt welded outlet
• 14-inch overall length
• Built with NANO substrate chemistry for efficient catalyst loading

Product Details

The Eastern Convertors DIRECT FIT line focuses on exact OE dimensions and consistent fitment for replacement exhaust work. Part number 40796 uses advanced manufacturing methods and high-speed production processes to maintain dimensional accuracy across the manifold and converter assembly. The NANO substrate chemistry is used to support efficient catalyst loading while keeping the unit cost-conscious for repair work.

This converter is listed for 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata, front left; 2001-2006 Kia Optima, front left; and 2003-2008 Hyundai Tiburon, front left. It is a direct-fit replacement for radiator-side applications on those vehicles and is not for sale or use in CA, CO, ME, or NY for vehicles with CA emissions. If you are searching for a Hyundai Sonata catalytic converter manifold or a Kia Optima front left direct-fit converter, 40796 is the matching part number to verify.

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

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a damaged or rusted integrated exhaust manifold
• Restoring exhaust flow after catalyst failure
• Addressing O2 sensor-related exhaust system faults
• Correcting exhaust leaks at the manifold-to-pipe connection
• Repairing a failed front left radiator-side converter assembly

Installation Notes

• Verify vehicle year, make, model, and front left radiator-side placement before installation.
• Confirm the vehicle is Federal / EPA emissions configuration and not a CA-emissions vehicle in restricted states.
• Use the listed 7-bolt welded inlet and 2-bolt welded outlet configuration for match verification.
• Check both O2 sensor ports and gasket locations against the original assembly.
• Inspect adjoining exhaust components, hangers, and fasteners before installation.

Quality Assurance

Eastern Convertors manufactures this DIRECT FIT converter using automated workstations, spinner welding equipment, and high-speed production lines to maintain OE-style dimensions and fitment consistency. Part number 40796 is built for the specified Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, and Hyundai Tiburon applications with attention to catalyst efficiency and repeatable production quality.
