Walker 84495 Catalytic Converter - Rear

Overview

Walker CalCat 84495 is a direct-fit catalytic converter for specific Subaru applications, built for CARB-compliant replacement use. It is engineered for an OE-style fit and is listed for rear-position installation on covered vehicles.

This part number 84495 serves Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, and Subaru XV Crosstrek applications within the confirmed fitment range. If you need a Subaru Forester catalytic converter or a Subaru Impreza rear catalytic converter that matches the listed CARB requirements, this Walker CalCat unit is built for that role.

Key Features

• CARB-certified replacement converter for regulated emissions applications.
• Direct-fit design for a precise OE-style installation.
• Stainless steel body with a ceramic substrate.
• Round converter body with welded 3-bolt inlet and 2-bolt outlet flanges.
• Walker CalCat line for emissions-focused replacement parts.

Detailed Description

Walker CalCat 84495 is a specific-fit catalytic converter designed, tested, and validated to meet CARB standards for the listed Subaru vehicles. The construction uses a stainless steel body and ceramic substrate, with a round housing and welded flange connections that follow the original-style exhaust layout. The part number 84495 is associated with rear-position fitment on 2011-2015 Subaru Forester, 2012-2014 Subaru Impreza, and 2013-2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek applications.

The CalCat product line focuses on direct-fit emissions replacement, and this converter is built for vehicles that require CARB-compliant aftermarket parts. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Failed catalytic converter emissions testing.
• Check engine light concerns related to catalyst efficiency.
• Replacement needs after converter deterioration or contamination.
• Fitment issues caused by non-direct-fit exhaust components.
• CARB compliance requirements in regulated states.

Installation Notes

Fitment is specific, so confirm the vehicle year, model, and rear-position application before ordering. The listing notes that an exhaust gasket is recommended and that additional parts 31369 and 31630 are needed to complete installation. No mounting hardware is listed as included.

For Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, and Subaru XV Crosstrek applications, verify the engine family number and emissions requirements against the vehicle before installation. The welded flange design supports an OE-style exhaust connection, but proper sealing and system inspection are important for a clean repair.

Quality Assurance

Walker CalCat 84495 is designed, tested, and validated for CARB compliance and OE-style fit. It is listed as legal for sale and use in California and other states that require CARB-compliant replacement converters when the vehicle application matches the published fitment.
