Detailed Description

Eastern Convertors 40973 is a right-side exhaust manifold catalytic converter assembly for 2008-2012 Land Rover LR2, 2007-2010 Volvo S80, 2008-2010 Volvo V70, 2010 Volvo XC60, and 2008-2010 Volvo XC70. It is a Federal / EPA direct-fit manifold intended for vehicles that do not require California emissions certification. The DIRECT FIT line is manufactured with automated production equipment and spinner welding processes to maintain consistent dimensions and fitment across applications.

This part number 40973 is built around a high-efficiency catalyst substrate chemistry to support proper exhaust flow and emissions control while matching OE-style mounting points. For shoppers searching for a right exhaust manifold catalytic converter for Volvo S80, Volvo V70, or Land Rover LR2, this unit provides a direct replacement format with the correct flange layout and sensor port configuration.

What It Helps Address

• Failed catalytic converter efficiency codes
• Exhaust leaks at the manifold or flange connection
• Cracked or deteriorated integrated manifold assembly
• Check engine light related to emissions system faults
• Restricted exhaust flow from a worn converter

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify right-side placement before ordering. This unit uses an 8-bolt welded inlet flange, a 4-bolt welded outlet flange, and one O2 sensor port, so confirm the vehicle’s exhaust connection style and sensor layout before installation. Fitment notes indicate it is not for sale or use in California, Colorado, Maine, or New York for vehicles with CA emissions.

For best results, inspect mating surfaces, gaskets, and exhaust hangers before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Eastern Convertors uses automated workstations, spinner welding equipment, and high-speed production lines to build converters to exact OE dimensions and fitment. The DIRECT FIT line is produced to support consistent manufacturing quality and competitive pricing, while the ECO III catalyst and NANO substrate chemistry are used to support efficient converter performance.
