HKS METAL CATALYZER AP1

What you get with the HKS Metal Catalyzer AP1 is a direct-fit catalytic converter designed to replace your original unit. This isn't just a generic replacement; it's built with HKS's experience in performance exhaust systems to help manage emissions while maintaining exhaust flow. It's a substantial piece of equipment, intended for those who understand the importance of a well-functioning catalytic converter in their exhaust setup.

This catalytic converter features a metal catalyst substrate, which is known for its durability and ability to withstand higher temperatures compared to ceramic substrates. The housing is constructed from stainless steel, offering good resistance to corrosion and the harsh environment under your vehicle. HKS has designed this unit to bolt directly in place of the factory converter, simplifying the installation process. While it's built for performance, it's crucial to note that this specific model is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California due to emissions regulations. Always ensure that any emissions control device you install meets your local and state requirements.

When installing this catalytic converter, it's a good idea to have new gaskets and hardware on hand, as reusing old ones can sometimes lead to exhaust leaks. Proper sealing is key to ensuring the system functions as intended and to prevent any check engine lights from illuminating. This part is a significant component for maintaining your vehicle's emissions compliance and exhaust system integrity.
