Product Description

Eastern Convertors 41265 is built for vehicles that use a front-mounted catalytic converter with an integrated manifold. The direct-fit layout supports factory-style exhaust routing, while the welded flange connections and dual O2 sensor ports match the original system configuration on covered Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima models. If you are replacing a worn or restricted converter on a 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata or a 2016-2020 Kia Optima, this part number 41265 provides the correct manifold-style replacement format.

The Brand Line, Direct Fit Converter w/ Manifold, identifies this as a one-piece exhaust service part for applications where the converter and manifold are combined. That makes it a focused replacement for front exhaust repairs where the original assembly is configured as a direct-fit manifold converter.

Common Repair Reasons

• Check engine light related to catalyst efficiency
• Restricted exhaust flow from a failing converter
• Exhaust leak at the manifold/converter assembly
• Damaged flange or sensor-port area on the original unit
• Emissions test failure on covered Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima applications

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s emissions configuration and compare the inlet and outlet flange styles before installation. This part uses a 7-bolt welded flange inlet, a 2-bolt welded flange outlet, and 2 O2 sensor ports, so the factory exhaust and sensor layout should be matched carefully. Confirm front-position fitment for the exact year, make, and model before replacing the original assembly.

Quality Assurance

Eastern Convertors identifies this unit as a Federal / EPA direct-fit manifold converter with ECO III catalyst construction for the listed applications. CARB certification is not indicated for this part.
