  I see 2 direct fit converters available at Napa auto parts www.napaonline.com But they show 2 different engines and you should call them or stop by one of their stores.

  Be advised that you do indeed get what you pay for. Case in point: In California (where I live and work), you almost always have to use a manufacturer catalytic converter, as all converters must be certified for sale here. This is largely because the aftermarket often provides converters with insufficient functional characteristics.

  So...you can use Napa, but be advised that you may do this job more than once...

  I sold many Napa direct fit converters in my two San Francisco Napa autoparts stores over the years ( Yes San Francisco is located in California ) and never had a comeback. How many autoparts stores have you owned?

  State law changed January 1, 2009 requiring certification of catalytic converters for sale in the state of California.
