Detailed Description

Walker CalCat 84694 is a premium-grade catalytic converter with a specific-fit design for the 2003-2011 Honda Element. The stainless steel body, steel tubing, and ceramic substrate are configured for direct replacement use, while the attached stainless steel heat shield helps maintain the original-style exhaust layout.

This part cross-references AP Exhaust 770353 and MagnaFlow Exhaust Products 5461990 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Replacing a failed or restricted catalytic converter on a Honda Element
• Addressing emissions test failures related to catalyst efficiency
• Restoring exhaust flow after converter substrate damage
• Correcting check engine light concerns tied to catalyst performance codes
• Returning the exhaust system to a direct-fit, vehicle-specific configuration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inlet and outlet flange style, sensor port locations, and overall length before installation. This converter uses a 2-bolt welded flange inlet with a spherical flare and a 2-bolt welded flange outlet, so matching the original exhaust connection points is important. Because mounting hardware, inlet gasket, and outlet gasket are not included, reuse or source the required service parts separately as needed. Confirm oxygen sensor routing at the pre-converter and midbed locations during installation.

Quality Assurance

Walker CalCat converters are designed, tested, and validated for CARB compliance on approved applications. Part number 84694 is built as a direct-fit emissions replacement for the specified Honda Element fitment and is certified for California and New York requirements.
