AP Exhaust Catalytic Converter,Catalytic Converter-Direct Fit P/N:644060
Keep your Subaru's exhaust flowing cleanly and help it meet federal emissions requirements with the AP Exhaust Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter 643028. It installs as a direct-fit rear converter for the 2006-2008 Subaru Forester [H4-2.5L] and the 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza [H4-2.5L], dropping into the factory location for a bolt-in swap.
Built to Federal / EPA direct-fit standards, this converter uses a ceramic substrate to convert exhaust pollutants as gases pass through, restoring proper aftertreatment when the original unit has failed.
This is a Federal / EPA converter and is not CARB certified — it is not legal for sale or use on vehicles registered in California or states that follow CARB emissions standards. Made in the United States. Signs the original converter may need replacing include a failed emissions test, a catalyst-efficiency check-engine code, a rattle from a broken internal substrate, or a sulfur smell; diagnose the cause before replacing.
