This leads to substrate sintering, localized melting, and restrictive backpressure that chokes exhaust scavenge efficiency, causing poor engine response and triggering persistent P0420 diagnostic trouble codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis front assembly delivers an exact-fit replacement built from heavy-gauge 409 stainless steel to resist thermal stress, road de-icing salts, and external corrosion. Internally, a high-porosity ceramic substrate is washcoated with active precious metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium) to reliably oxidize carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons while reducing nitrogen oxides. CNC-machined direct-fit flanges and integrated oxygen sensor bungs eliminate custom fabrication, seating directly to the stock exhaust manifold and intermediate piping using OE reference \u003cstrong\u003e16187\u003c\/strong\u003e geometry.\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;\"\u003e2001-2007 Dodge Grand Caravan \/ Caravan\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\u003eEGA (3.3L)\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEGH (3.8L)\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eRS\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;\"\u003e180–215 hp \/ 210–245 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\u003cstrong\u003e16187\u003c\/strong\u003e\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\u003e2001-2007 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L V6 (Front Position)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2007 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8L V6 (Front Position)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2007 Dodge Caravan 3.3L V6 (Front Position)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the RS Caravan?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this unit is engineered specifically for 2001-2007 \u003cstrong\u003eRS\u003c\/strong\u003e platform minivans powered by the \u003cstrong\u003eEGA\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3L or \u003cstrong\u003eEGH\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.8L V6 engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this resolve an active P0420 check engine code?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, assuming oxygen sensors and upstream air-fuel delivery operate within factory tolerance, this new catalytic core restores downstream emissions parameters to factory compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dodge Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for rigorous family hauling and commercial fleet duty, this exhaust unit restores low-end torque retention, keeps downstream O2 monitors happy, and delivers dependable thermal performance under heavy vehicle loads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67537816781048,"sku":"DS-E6TMQPH0S","price":106.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-dodge-caravan-2001-2007-3-3l-3-8l-front-1.jpg?v=1790617831","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-dodge-caravan-2001-2007-3-3l-3-8l-front","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
