Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s emissions configuration before ordering. This converter uses welded 2-bolt inlet and outlet connections and includes one O2 sensor port, so the existing exhaust layout and sensor placement should be matched to the original unit. Confirm rear-position fitment on the specific Malibu model year before installation.

Eastern Convertors uses automated workstations, spinner welding equipment, and high-speed production lines to build converters to exact OE dimensions. The DIRECT FIT line is engineered for consistent fitment and efficient production, and the proprietary NANO substrate chemistry is used to support efficient catalyst loading in a cost-conscious replacement design.
