Over time, unburned hydrocarbons and zinc\/phosphorus compounds contaminate the internal precious metal washcoat, poisoning the catalytic element. This contamination degrades oxygen storage capacity, triggers persistent P0420 trouble codes, elevates exhaust backpressure, and creates localized thermal stress that eventually fractures the OEM ceramic matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured as a bolt-on direct replacement, this front catalytic assembly utilizes a corrosion-resistant 409 stainless steel exterior shell engineered to endure severe underbody thermal cycling. Inside, a high-efficiency ceramic honeycomb substrate coated with precious metals (platinum, palladium, and rhodium) provides maximum catalytic surface area without throttling exhaust flow. Heavy-gauge, OE-spec flanges ensure leak-free mounting against factory exhaust manifolds, directly replacing OEM part numbers \u003cstrong\u003e17460-0D070\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e94860066\u003c\/strong\u003e without cutting, welding, or custom pipe bending.\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 Chevrolet Prizm\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\u003e1ZZ-FE\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eE110\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;\"\u003e120-125 hp \/ 122-125 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\u003e17460-0D070\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e94860066\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e15844\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e642939\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 Chevrolet Prizm Base \/ LSi 1.8L L4 (1ZZ-FE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999 Chevrolet Prizm Base \/ LSi 1.8L L4 (1ZZ-FE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000 Chevrolet Prizm Base \/ LSi 1.8L L4 (1ZZ-FE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001 Chevrolet Prizm Base \/ LSi 1.8L L4 (1ZZ-FE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2002 Chevrolet Prizm Base \/ LSi 1.8L L4 (1ZZ-FE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the E110 Prizm?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1998-2002 Chevrolet Prizm equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e1ZZ-FE\u003c\/strong\u003e engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this direct-fit converter resolve a P0420 check engine light?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, provided the upstream air-fuel ratio and downstream oxygen sensors operate properly, this unit restores OEM oxygen storage capacity to clear catalytic deficiency codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Chevrolet Reliability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chevrolet Prizm is known for bulletproof daily operation.
