Internally, a heavy-duty ceramic honeycomb matrix provides optimal surface area exposure for exhaust gases, facilitating rapid catalyst light-off and complete conversion of HC, CO, and NOx pollutants. Robotically welded OE-style flanges ensure an airtight seal against factory downpipes, while integrated O2 sensor bungs maintain factory oxygen sensor positioning without wire harness modification.\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;\"\u003e2001-2005 Dodge Neon (Front Position)\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;\"\u003e2.0L SOHC (ECB) \/ PL\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;\"\u003e132 hp \/ 130 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;\"\u003eDF53419, 53419, QS322160QR\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\u003e2001-2005 Dodge Neon Base 2.0L L4 SOHC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2005 Dodge Neon SE 2.0L L4 SOHC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2005 Dodge Neon ES 2.0L L4 SOHC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2005 Dodge Neon SXT 2.0L L4 SOHC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPA 46-State Legal (Not certified for sale or registration 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 PL Neon?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2001-2005 Dodge Neon equipped with the 2.0L ECB engine in the front position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this direct-fit catalytic converter clear my P0420 trouble code?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this converter features an efficient ceramic core that restores emissions conversion efficiency to factory standards, resolving P0420 codes provided upstream fueling and O2 sensors function properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dodge Reliability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRestore nominal exhaust velocity, pass emissions inspection, and eliminate restrictive exhaust backpressure with a converter built to original equipment specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67543948329208,"sku":"DS-EDFBHALJK","price":204.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-dodge-neon-2001-2005-2-0l-front-1.jpg?v=1790696352","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-dodge-neon-2001-2005-2-0l-front","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
