(You save)
Replace a clogged or failed catalytic converter on your Volkswagen with the AP Exhaust Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter (MPN 642766). This Federal / EPA direct-fit converter drops into the factory location on the 2001-2005 VW Beetle, 2001-2006 VW Golf, and 2001-2005 VW Jetta, all with the L4-2.0L engine. A catalytic converter uses a coated substrate to convert harmful exhaust gases into less harmful ones as they pass through — if a failed or clogged converter is the cause of your emissions issue, this unit replaces it.
409 stainless steel shell and neck: built for longer service life against exhaust heat and corrosion.
Ceramic substrate with Aristo Clean by Design catalyst: AP's advanced catalyst technology handles demanding emissions loads.
Direct-fit connections: a 4-bolt welded inlet flange and a 2.165 OD outlet pipe, with one sensor port, built to OE dimensions and fitment.
Includes an inlet gasket: the outlet gasket is not required; no additional mounting hardware is included.
It measures 42 inches overall and is made in the United States. Note: this is a Federal / EPA converter and is NOT CARB certified, so it is not legal for sale or use in California or other states requiring CARB-compliant converters. Confirm your emissions requirements before ordering.
