The \u003cstrong\u003e6VD1\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2L V6 is notorious for valve-stem and piston-ring oil consumption, which rapidly poisons the factory washcoat. Over time, elevated exhaust gas temperatures cause thermal sintering and melting of the internal OEM ceramic honeycomb monolith. This creates severe exhaust backpressure, robs power under load, generates persistent \u003cstrong\u003eP0420\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eP0430\u003c\/strong\u003e DTC faults, and risks blown manifold gaskets from trapped thermal stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a pair for both bank 1 and bank 2, these direct-replacement assemblies feature heavy-gauge 409-grade stainless steel outer shells designed to resist road-salt corrosion and mechanical fatigue. Internally, a high-porosity ceramic honeycomb substrate is loaded with an optimized washcoat containing platinum, palladium, and rhodium (Pt\/Pd\/Rh) to efficiently oxidize hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into inert gases. CNC-machined OE-spec flanges and integrated, precision-tapped oxygen sensor ports guarantee a leak-free seal directly to the factory downpipes without cutting, bending, or custom TIG fabrication.\u003c\/p\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;\"\u003e1998-2002 Isuzu Rodeo\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;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6VD1\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2L V6 \/ \u003cstrong\u003eUE\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\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;\"\u003e205 hp \/ 214 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;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16499\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e16500\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e40385\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e40384\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e54334\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e4365\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eREPI960305\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eREPI960306\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\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\u003e1998-2002 Isuzu Rodeo S (3.2L V6 6VD1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1998-2002 Isuzu Rodeo LS (3.2L V6 6VD1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2002 Isuzu Rodeo LSE (3.2L V6 6VD1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNote: Fits 3.2L V6 models only; does not fit 2.2L 4-cylinder models. 46-state legal (EPA compliant; not legal for sale\/use in CA, NY, CO, or ME).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the UE Rodeo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1998-2002 Isuzu Rodeo equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e6VD1\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2L V6 engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this direct-fit catalytic converter clear my check engine light (CEL)?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, replacing depleted converters with these catalyst-loaded units restores factory conversion efficiency and resolves catalyst-related \u003cstrong\u003eP0420\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eP0430\u003c\/strong\u003e engine codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Isuzu Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to handle the demanding duty cycles of body-on-frame utility, these catalytic converters withstand heavy trail use and high-temp towing loads without substrate shearing, maintaining maximum scavenging efficiency and dependable emissions compliance across tough terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67538019811576,"sku":"DS-EZRFC7JK7","price":311.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-isuzu-rodeo-1998-2002-3-2l-left-right-1.jpg?v=1790620940","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-isuzu-rodeo-1998-2002-3-2l-left-right","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
