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

Common replacement issues

• Failed emissions test due to a worn or inefficient converter
• Check engine light related to catalyst performance
• Exhaust restriction from a damaged internal substrate
• Rust or corrosion at the converter body or flange areas
• Leakage at the inlet or outlet connection points

Installation notes and tips

Verify the vehicle’s emissions certification requirements before installation. This converter uses a 2-bolt welded flange inlet and a 3-bolt welded flange outlet, with no O2 sensor ports. Confirm flange style, inlet and outlet diameter, and overall length against the original exhaust configuration for the best fit on Honda Civic and Honda Civic del Sol applications.
