Walker Exhaust P/N:16671
Cut harmful tailpipe emissions and bolt your exhaust back together with the Walker Ultra EPA Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter, part number 16570. Cataloged as a direct-fit replacement converter for the Chevrolet Malibu, it installs as a bolt-on unit that doesn't require specialized fabrication or welding.

What vehicle does the 16570 converter fit?
It's cataloged as a direct-fit converter for the Chevrolet Malibu. Confirm it matches your specific Malibu's year and engine before ordering.
Is this converter legal in California?
No. It is not CARB certified and is not legal for sale or use in California, Colorado or New York. It is legal in Maine on EPA Federal Emission Equipped vehicles only.
Will it turn off my check engine light?
A worn converter can no longer reduce exhaust emissions effectively. If a failed converter is the cause of an emissions-related code, this unit replaces it — diagnose the cause first, since codes can have other sources.
Does installation require welding?
No. It's a direct-fit, bolt-on replacement with factory-style flanges, hangers, brackets and routings, so no specialized fabrication or welding is needed.
What is it made of and how is it warranted?
It has an oval stainless steel body with a 2.5" outlet. Walker backs it with 25,000-mile/40,000 km emissions coverage and a 5-year, 50,000-mile/80,000 km structural integrity warranty.
