TESTIMONIALS

Here are what our clients have to say.

Best place ever! I searched different websites, trying to find a place that was affordable & also shipped to California with no luck. So happy I looked a little more. Thank you for having what needed! U ROCK!!!

The website was easy to use, I got a smokin' deal on my part (better price than any other supplier and I shopped around!), and it was shipped so quickly and safely, and arrived way before I expected it to. So much so, it's already on my vehicle!!! I will recommend Hot Exhaust to all my friends who enjoy upgrading their vehicles.

Proper Installation for Chevrolet & GMC Catalytic Converters

A correct installation is essential for performance and emissions compliance. Before mounting your new converter, inspect the flanges, gaskets, hardware, and oxygen sensors for wear. Make sure all mating surfaces are clean, and replace any damaged components to prevent leaks.

Once installed, tighten bolts evenly and follow the manufacturer's torque specifications. If you’re unsure, a professional familiar with Chevrolet and GMC exhaust systems can ensure the converter is fitted and sealed correctly.

How to Identify the Correct Converter for Your Chevrolet or GMC Vehicle

To select the correct Chevy or GMC catalytic converter, confirm:

  • Vehicle model year and engine size
  • Emissions certification (Federal EPA vs. CARB)
  • Converter location (front/primary, mid-pipe, or rear if multiple are used)
  • Flange or connection type
  • Oxygen sensor port quantity and placement

Using your VIN or OEM part number is the most accurate way to guarantee the proper fit.

Chevrolet & GMC Catalytic Converter FAQs

What’s the difference between Federal and state-specific catalytic converters for Chevrolet & GMC models?

Federal converters meet EPA emissions standards and are approved in all non-CARB states. State-specific converters, such as CARB-certified units, meet stricter emissions requirements and are required if your Chevrolet or GMC vehicle is registered in California or another CARB-regulated state.

Can the same converter fit different Chevrolet & GMC vehicle models?

Some Chevrolet and GMC models may share similar exhaust layouts, but many differ based on engine size, wheelbase, chassis, and emissions certification. Always check your year, engine code, and emissions label before selecting a converter to ensure proper fitment.

How long do catalytic converters for Chevrolet & GMC vehicle models tend to last?

A well-built catalytic converter can last 8–10 years or more. Regular engine maintenance, such as quickly fixing misfires, preventing oil consumption issues, and using clean, high-quality fuel, helps extend converter life. Excessive heat or raw fuel entering the exhaust can shorten the lifespan, so keeping the engine running properly is essential.
