- Is this converter legal in California?
- Yes. It carries CARB Executive Order D-193-175, which makes it legal for the emissions applications it is listed for. Confirm the part number matches your vehicle before buying.
- Does it bolt on or need welding?
- It is a direct-fit, bolt-on unit with a single inlet and outlet. The flange gasket, ring gasket, two bolts and two washers are included.
- Will it fix my check-engine light?
- Only if the converter is the cause. A P0420 code can also come from a bad oxygen sensor, exhaust leak or engine misfire, so diagnose before replacing.
- How is it different from a universal converter?
- A universal unit usually needs welding and is not CARB-legal in California. This one is vehicle-specific, bolts to the factory flanges and is emissions-legal there.
- Does it add horsepower?
- No. It is a stock replacement, not a performance converter, so expect factory-level flow and sound.
- What is in the box?
- The converter, a flange gasket, a ring gasket, two bolts and two washers. Reuse or replace the factory hangers and sensor as needed.
