Product Overview
This is the upstream manifold converter buyers look for after diagnosing a failed catalyst, a rattling brick, restricted exhaust flow, or an efficiency code that remains after the engine problem causing it has been repaired. The integrated manifold layout places the converter close to the engine for the applications listed below.
A converter should not be used to hide an active misfire, oil burning, rich mixture, or coolant leak. Those faults can quickly damage the replacement and must be corrected before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this automatically fix a P0420 code? A: Only if the converter is the confirmed cause. Exhaust leaks, sensors, misfires, and fuel-control problems must be ruled out.
Q: Is this the front converter? A: Yes, it is the manifold-mounted upstream converter for the listed 1.6L applications.
Q: Does it fit a 2017 Kia Soul? A: No. The verified Soul coverage here is 2012-2014 with the 1.6L engine.
Q: Can an oil-burning engine damage it? A: Yes. Oil, coolant, or excess fuel can overheat or coat a new catalyst.
