It is engineered for Volkswagen Jetta and Volkswagen GTI applications with a center position fitment, and it uses an ECO III catalyst design for efficient exhaust treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-fit undercar catalytic converter with OE-style dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECO III catalyst type for efficient conversion performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFederal \/ EPA application with one O2 sensor port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV-band flange inlet and 2.56-inch OD outlet connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43-inch overall length for application-specific exhaust routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEastern Convertors 41274 with NANO substrate chemistry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DIRECT FIT product line focuses on application-specific exhaust components built to match factory dimensions and installation points. For this converter, Eastern Convertors uses automated manufacturing, spinner welding equipment, and high-speed production lines to maintain consistent fitment and efficient converter construction. The NANO substrate chemistry is used to support efficient loading and lower material cost while maintaining converter efficiency. This part number 41274 is a direct-fit replacement for select Volkswagen Jetta and Volkswagen GTI center exhaust applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon replacement concerns\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFailed catalytic converter efficiency codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestricted exhaust flow from a worn converter core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust leaks at the flange connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorrect fitment from a non-direct replacement part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmission-system faults related to converter performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the inlet style, outlet diameter, O2 sensor port count, and overall length before installation. This converter uses a V-band flange inlet and a 2.56-inch OD outlet, so matching the existing exhaust configuration is important for proper fitment. Confirm the vehicle’s emissions requirements and state restrictions before ordering. Part number 41274 should be matched to the exact application listed in the fitment data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEastern Convertors builds this converter to exact OE dimensions using controlled manufacturing processes for consistent fitment and construction. The DIRECT FIT line is positioned around application-specific exhaust replacement, and the part number 41274 is cross-referenced to 5QM254500K and 5QM254501G for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Convertors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53512179089589,"sku":"BBPJ-41274","price":560.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/EA_41274_Fro.jpg?v=1791875740","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/eastern-convertors-41274-catalytic-converter-center","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
