Over extended mileage, unburned hydrocarbons and trace oil blow-by degrade the factory washcoat and thermal shock fractures the brittle internal ceramic honeycomb. This degradation leads to core dusting, increased exhaust backpressure, diminished mid-range torque, and persistent emissions MIL illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with a heavy-gauge stainless steel outer shell, this assembly withstands aggressive road corrosion and high-heat exhaust pulses. Internally, a dense ceramic monolith core coated in an optimized precious-metal catalytic washcoat rapidly treats NOx, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons back to factory efficiency levels. CNC-machined, OE-spec flanges and included mounting hardware provide an airtight bolt-on installation that drops directly into the stock exhaust routing without cutting or custom welding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2009-2015 Honda Pilot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eJ35Z4 3.5L V6 \/ YF3 (2WD) \u0026amp; YF4 (4WD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e250 hp \/ 253 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eBER458550 (Interchange: 45131-45132-16447, 45131, 45132, 16447)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2015 Honda Pilot LX 3.5L V6 (Gasoline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2015 Honda Pilot EX 3.5L V6 (Gasoline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2015 Honda Pilot EX-L 3.5L V6 (Gasoline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2015 Honda Pilot Touring 3.5L V6 (Gasoline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2015 Honda Pilot SE (Special Edition) 3.5L V6 (Gasoline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Honda Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle the constant thermal and mechanical stress associated with heavy passenger loads and sustained highway towing, maintaining stable backpressure and zero check-engine warnings under continuous duty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50489316802808,"sku":"DS-EAZKVQMCV","price":200.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-honda-pilot-2009-2015-3-5l-1.jpg?v=1789159811","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-honda-pilot-2009-2015-3-5l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
