Our take on the AP Exhaust Direct Fit Catalytic Converter

A direct-fit rear catalytic converter for 1984-1995 Ford Aerostar vans with the 5.9L engine. It uses a ceramic honeycomb substrate in a 409 stainless steel oval shell, with 2.25-inch slip-fit inlet and outlet and no oxygen sensor port. It is a stock-replacement part for passing federal emissions, not a performance upgrade. Compared with generic weld-in universals, the direct fit saves fabrication; compared with OEM, the stainless shell and ceramic core are the same basic recipe at a lower cost.

Best forAerostar owners replacing a failed or clogged rear converterDaily drivers needing a federal/EPA-compliant replacementOwners who want a bolt-on fit without cutting and welding
Pros
  • Direct fit for the listed Aerostar years, no fabrication
  • 409 stainless steel shell resists corrosion better than mild steel
  • Ceramic substrate is the standard OEM-style catalyst
  • Slip-fit 2.25-inch inlet and outlet match stock piping
  • Light at under 5 lbs, easy to handle on a driveway job
Cons
  • Federal/EPA only, not legal for California or CARB states
  • No oxygen sensor port, so it only suits non-monitored rear positions
  • Fitment is limited to specific Aerostar years and engine
  • Painted finish can burn off and look worn quickly
  • No gaskets or hardware included

Questions and answers

Will this fit my Aerostar?
It is listed for 1984-1995 Ford Aerostar with the 5.9L engine in the rear position. Check your year, engine and converter location before ordering.
Is it legal in California?
No. It is a federal/EPA converter, not CARB-approved, so it cannot be sold or installed in California or other CARB states.
Does it have an oxygen sensor port?
No. It suits rear positions without a sensor bung. If your stock unit has a sensor, this is not a direct swap.
What is in the box?
The converter only. Gaskets and mounting hardware are not included, so plan to reuse or buy them.
How does it compare with a universal converter?
It is shaped and flanged for the Aerostar, so it slips on without cutting or welding. A universal needs fabrication but fits many vehicles.
Will it fix a P0420 code?
If the rear converter is the cause, yes. If the code comes from an upstream sensor or exhaust leak, replacing the converter will not help.
Where is the AP Exhaust Direct Fit Catalytic Converter cheapest?
