Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle’s emissions configuration before ordering, since this part is not for sale or use in CA, CO, ME, or NY for vehicles with California emissions. Confirm the front-position application, inlet and outlet flange style, and O2 sensor port layout against the original assembly before installation. Professional installation is recommended for exhaust manifold converter replacements because proper sealing, sensor placement, and flange alignment are critical to performance.
