4680 - Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter (Non C.A.R.B. Compliant)

The 4680 Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter has garnered mixed reviews from customers who have installed it on their vehicles, particularly older models like the 1992 Ford Ranger. While some users appreciate the ease of fit with the exact length and bolt patterns matching the original equipment, they also highlight several significant fitment issues that can lead to complications during installation. Several customers reported that the welded hanger was positioned incorrectly, often requiring extra modifications for proper alignment. The slope of the converter’s outlet has also been a concern for some, with it not mimicking the original angle, which leads to added stress on the connections. Additionally, issues related to the front flange being too small are mentioned, necessitating alterations that add complexity to an otherwise straightforward installation process. Despite these problems, many users acknowledge the converter's quality and the overall function once installed. However, a few negative experiences—such as premature failure within a year and a half—raise concerns about longevity and reliability. Prospective buyers may want to weigh the potential need for modifications against the positive aspects of quality and overall structural integrity when Considering this product. **
