Within the \u003cstrong\u003eLN2\u003c\/strong\u003e exhaust tract, unburnt hydrocarbons and thermal cycling cause the factory ceramic washcoat to sinter, losing active surface area. This results in standard catalyst inefficiency trouble codes (P0420\/P0430), elevated exhaust backpressure, restricted scavenge velocity, reduced fuel economy, and engine sluggishness under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replacement converter restores factory-spec exhaust flow and emissions scrubbing without requiring cutting, sleeve clamping, or custom fabrication. Manufactured with a heavy-gauge 409 stainless steel shell, it encases a high-density 600 CPSI cordierite ceramic honeycomb substrate loaded with a balanced palladium and rhodium washcoat. Mandrel-bent inlet and outlet tubing preserves flow continuity, while precision-machined thick flanges prevent exhaust leaks. Factory-located oxygen sensor bungs ensure that secondary O2 sensors thread directly into the exhaust stream without sensor harness extensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Direct-Fit Rear Catalytic Converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1996-2000 Isuzu Hombre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eLN2 (2.2L OHV) \/ GMT325\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e118-120 hp \/ 130-140 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e25175249, 25314443\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2000 Isuzu Hombre 2.2L 4-Cylinder (Federal OBD-II Emissions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the GMT325 Hombre?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1996-2000 Isuzu Hombre equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eLN2\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eThis part is not legal for sale, purchase, or use on vehicles registered in California, Colorado, New York, or Maine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs welding or pipe expansion required for installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, this unit is an engineered bolt-on assembly designed to mount directly to original flanges using the supplied mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Isuzu Workhorse Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle sustained payload hauling and daily fleet demands, this converter delivers corrosion-resistant exhaust reliability, maintains required low-end torque output, and preserves long-term emissions integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67901443735800,"sku":"DS-E9ZOQ2QI0","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-isuzu-hombre-1996-2000-2-2l-rear-1.jpg?v=1793336412","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/de\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-isuzu-hombre-1996-2000-2-2l-rear","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
