The unit features dual high-efficiency ceramic honeycomb monoliths loaded with optimized catalyst washcoats to re-establish factory stoichiometric conversion rates without choking exhaust velocity. Integrated factory-positioned oxygen sensor bungs and heavy-duty, thick-machined flanges match stock exhaust manifolds precisely, preventing pre-converter exhaust leaks and ensuring consistent downstream sensor telemetry without requiring custom fabrication or welding.\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;\"\u003e2011-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD \/ 3500 HD\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;\"\u003e6.0L Vortec L96 \/ GMT900 \u0026amp; K2XX\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;\"\u003e360 hp \/ 380 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;\"\u003e645184, 213361, 645154\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\u003e2011-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD (6.0L V8 Gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD (6.0L V8 Gas - Standard Pickup models only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Front position direct-fit Y-pipe configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNote: Excludes diesel engine variants and 3500 HD Cab \u0026amp; Chassis models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the GMT900 and K2XX Silverado?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2011-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD equipped with the 6.0L Vortec L96 engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this unit clear check engine lights caused by catalytic failure?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it restores factory emissions scrubbing efficiency to resolve catalytic inefficiency codes like P0420 and P0430 when downstream O2 sensors are functioning properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Chevrolet HD Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHD trucks demand sustained thermal resistance under extreme trailer towing and payload conditions; this converter assembly is built with structural resilience to endure heavy work duty without premature substrate breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67537964073208,"sku":"DS-E6WIFK6JU","price":255.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-chevrolet-silverado-2011-2017-6-0l-front-1.jpg?v=1790620093","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-chevrolet-silverado-2011-2017-6-0l-front","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
