moonfresh Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Hey All, Just failed smog. Looking to replace my catalytic converter. Is there a direct fit version that is not from the stealership? I am thinking I would need one of those universal fit kind. Any help would be appreciated. Will definitely report back on my project. Camper has the 3.0 V6 if that matters. Thanks.

WME Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Just saw your location. Your screwed😠. I found some CARB approved cats, but they wont ship them to CA. FWIW they are in the $500 range. The gooderest universal cats are in the $150 range, but again no joy for CA people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Best price I could find. California legal and it looks like they have an extra 20% off of the price bringing the cheapest down to just a kick over $400. High quality brand too Hottexhaust Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Found cheaper. Only 325 and California compliant. Amazon.com: Walker 80941 CalCat Catalytic Converter: Automotive Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonfresh Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Thanks Everyone. I went with the Walker 80941. It's on RockAuto for a little less, and they can ship faster than Amazon by a week. I measured my old catalytic converter, and it measures about 17ish inches. I think it is the closest to a direct fit I can find. I'll keep everyone posted. Cheers!

moonfresh Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Update: Went with the Walker 80941. It FITS PERFECTLY! Make sure you spray some penetrating oil on those super old bolts. Had one bolt stripped. Also, I PASSED my smog check with flying colors. The difference in measurement is day/night. The 02 sensor was also replaced...Denso 234-4051. Thanks everyone!
