Catalytic Converter for Ram C/V (2012-2014) 3.6L Bank 1 & Bank 2

Direct-Fit Bank 1 & Bank 2 Catalytic Converter Set for 2012-2014 Ram C/V (RT)

What it Does: The Bank 1 & Bank 2 Catalytic Converter assembly replaces deteriorated factory catalytic converters on the 2012-2014 Ram C/V to clear diagnostic trouble codes, normalize exhaust backpressure, and restore standard emissions efficiency.

The Stock Ram C/V Substrate Degradation

Under continuous commercial duty cycles, the factory catalytic washcoat on the RT chassis deteriorates from thermal cycling and oil vapor exposure from the PCV system. Over time, the internal ceramic monolith fractures or fouls, triggering recurring P0420 and P0430 catalyst efficiency trouble codes. As the matrix collapses, exhaust gas flow restricts dramatically, elevating exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), choking manifold scavenging, and reducing real-world fuel economy and payload pulling capability on the Pentastar 3.6L V6.

The Engineering Solution

This replacement manifold-back set addresses exhaust flow restriction with high-flow washcoated ceramic substrates encased in heavy-gauge Stainless Steel bodies. Mandrel-bent tubing eliminates restrictive pinch points to preserve optimal exhaust velocity and engine volumetric efficiency. Thick, precision-machined connection flanges ensure leak-free seal retention under sustained commercial fleet duty. Each converter is configured with factory-located downstream and upstream O2 sensor bungs and includes OE-spec replacement gaskets for direct bolt-on installation without cutting or torch work.
