Eastern Convertors 41290 Catalytic Converter with Integrated Exhaust Manifold - Front

Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter Manifold

Eastern Convertors DIRECT FIT Part Number 41290 is a catalytic converter with an integrated exhaust manifold built to OE dimensions for a precise replacement on select Hyundai and Kia front applications. It uses ECO III catalyst technology and a Federal / EPA direct-fit manifold design to support proper exhaust flow and emissions control.

The DIRECT FIT product line focuses on exact-fit replacement parts for vehicles that need a manifold-style converter assembly. For this application, Part Number 41290 is built with a 7-bolt welded inlet, a 2-bolt welded outlet, two O2 sensor ports, and included inlet and outlet gaskets for a cleaner service replacement.

Detailed Description

Eastern Convertors 41290 is engineered for front-position exhaust service on select Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Kia Sorento models. It is a direct-fit catalytic converter with manifold construction, making it a practical replacement when the original assembly combines the exhaust manifold and converter in one unit. The manufacturer uses automated workstations, spinner welding equipment, and high-speed production lines to build converters to OE dimensions, while proprietary NANO substrate chemistry is used to improve catalyst loading efficiency and control production cost.

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