Over time, sustained exhaust gas temperatures degrade the internal washcoat and induce ceramic substrate sintering. This thermal breakdown restricts exhaust flow, spikes backpressure, and triggers persistent P0420 catalytic efficiency codes on the \u003cstrong\u003eDuratec 25\u003c\/strong\u003e engine, causing sluggish throttle response and improper long-term fuel trim adaptation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a bolt-on assembly, this unit features a heavy-duty stainless steel outer canister that resists thermal fatigue, oxidation, and road-spray corrosion. Inside, a flow-optimized ceramic honeycomb matrix coated with high-grade precious metals ensures rapid catalyst light-off and clean exhaust conversion without choking flow dynamics.
