Product Details

Walker CalCat 84265 is engineered as a specific-fit catalytic converter for the rear exhaust position on 2011-2016 Chevrolet Cruze models, including 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited. The converter uses a 3-bolt welded flange inlet and a 2-bolt welded flange outlet, with an overall length of 50.75 inches and an outlet outside diameter of 2.185 inches. The body measures 8 inches long and 4.02 inches in height and width, with a stainless steel shell and ceramic substrate for emissions control.

The CalCat line is Walker’s CARB-focused replacement converter family, built for vehicles that need a compliant emissions solution without changing the original exhaust layout. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 557109) for the same application. Walker 84265 is a direct replacement choice for Chevrolet Cruze owners addressing emissions-related exhaust service on CARB-regulated vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Failed emissions testing on a 2011-2016 Chevrolet Cruze rear converter application
• Check engine light conditions related to catalytic converter efficiency
• Exhaust restriction or deterioration in the rear converter section
• Need for a CARB-certified replacement in California and other CARB states
• Restoring proper exhaust routing with an OE-style direct-fit layout

Installation Notes

Fits 2011-2016 Chevrolet Cruze, rear. Fits 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited, rear. An exhaust gasket is recommended, and additional parts are listed for installation completion: 31585 and 2 of 31332. Verify the vehicle’s engine family number and emissions requirements before installation, since CARB applications must match the approved configuration.

For best results, confirm flange orientation, sensor placement, and exhaust condition before replacing the converter. The direct-fit design helps simplify alignment on the Chevrolet Cruze exhaust system, but proper inspection of mating surfaces and related exhaust components is important for a secure seal.

Quality Assurance

Walker CalCat 84265 is designed, tested, and validated to meet CARB standards for approved replacement converter applications. It is certified by the California Air Resources Board and built for regulated emissions compliance on the listed Chevrolet Cruze fitments.
